Hello,
Small red spots on the skin are primarily caused by bacterial infection of the skin. Frequently scratching the skin with your hands further exacerbates the condition, leading to various secondary infections and resulting in numerous small red spots across the body.
It is essential to seek timely treatment for these red spots; otherwise, they may continue to proliferate. You should consult a healthcare provider at a hospital to obtain topical medications that can help suppress their development. Additionally, avoid consuming overly spicy foods during recovery.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
