Several small 1/2 mm red blotches almost like irregularlly shaped blood clots have appeared on the top of my left arm over the last 2 months. 5 more showed up today. I am taking levothyroxin and a weeky dose of metheltrexate for lupus. I have developed a deep chest cold over this past week. I am 75 yrs old What are these marks?
