Question

I'm noticing these little purple dots on my chin, almost like a bruise, but I haven't been hit or anything. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may be experiencing petechiae, which are tiny purple, red, or brown spots on the skin. Petechiae can be caused by various factors such as straining, coughing, or even certain medications. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing this. I recommend you consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
