I don't mean red spots as in a rash. These are like small broken blood vessels. They are especially on my chest. But I can find them popping up all over my body.

My LLMD said it is from babesia. Does anyone else have these and will they go away?

If you mean those tiny red dots, they are Cherry Angiomas. And, yes, from Babesia. Perhaps some say from Bart? Usually it's known to be from Babesia.

cpnhelp.org - they are from chlamydia pneumonia.
They go with the treatment protocol for cpn.

Dr. S says they are bartonella. They look like tiny blood blisters.

Pinpoint sized red dots might be petechiae. They've come and gone with treatment, not sure what infection they are related to.

I also have them on my chest, shoulders and back in various sizes.

Recently 2 new small ones appeared 1 on my face near my nose and 1 on my forehead.

Could be Bart, but I think Babs. Mine haven't disappeared w/ treatment.

Seems like more are appearing w/ treatment!

Small red spots all over the body can also be Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It can be fatal, and can kill you quickly.

Most mds treat it with abx before the labs even come back because it is so serious. My husband had it, but we caught it early.

Yours doesn't sound like typical RMSF spots. But you might want to google and take a look, and I would definitely ask the md to be sure.
