Hey, I totally get why you're worried about those red spots, but try not to jump to conclusions, alright? There are loads of simple explanations for them. Just pop over to the doc and get it checked out.

Besides the red spots, which I first brushed off as nothing, I started getting these persistent fevers and infections. It was unusual for me because I've always been fairly healthy. Then there was this constant fatigue. I remember telling a friend how I felt unusually tired all the time and she urged me to see a doctor.

@Kangaroo I also brushed off things as I was always healthy. Bruising - I thought I must be a klutz! Colds and infections - due to flying weekly for work. The fatigue was the worst!

I experienced unexplained weight loss along with the red spots. It was subtle at first, but then it became noticeable.

When I thought my red spots might be leukemia, I also had bruising that appeared for no reason. It was quite alarming and something I'd tell others to look out for.

Hi there , you might want to look at frequent Infections, getting sick more often than usual or having infections that are hard to shake off.Also bruising easily or noticing bruises that appear for no apparent reason. You might also want to check for unexplained weight loss and bone pain.I hope this helps!

I'll advice that you see a specialist, this will further clarify the uncertainty and your unsettling thoughts. However classical signs are fever, chills, nosebleeds, night sweats and weight loss.. Take care!
