Hi Emma,
I was just about to post something very similar and with you not having any response in 5 days isn't very reassuring.
While I can't explain why it happens (nor does it seem like anyone truly can), I have also noticed an increase in them, most of which are red marks as seen in your pictures, but nothing in that quantity or close proximity. I was diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis in July and only really noticed the increase in the past 3-4 weeks.
Have you been ill with anything recently? Do you have any other symptoms (most people do not)?
I have an appointment (a follow up to my mono) tomorrow and I was going to bring this up to see what they say. I can let you know if anything comes out of it.

I'm covered in these! does anyone know what they are? I have some big ones but I'm covered in the pin prick sized ones. the bigger ones I've had for years but the pin prick ones just keep coming up I'm getting sick of them because once they are there they don't go away!

i know it's a post from 2 years ago but did you ever find out what these were? i'm also covered, could be thousands of them. they developed over years but recent pregnancy might have caused a quick spread of them? i'll go to the gp tomorrow as I'm really worried. please let me know how you are doing

I think you should love yourself more, and know that these issues are not a problem. They are not so easy to notice, even going close up with the camera. They should go away by themselves, its completely natural for women to have this issue.
