I'm really concerned about these red pin prick spots that have appeared under my skin on my legs, and on each leg, there's a big purple and yellow bruise. I also noticed some tiny patches of these pin pricks on my fingers. Plus, I've had a headache on and off for the last two days. Could this be something serious? What should I do?
