Yesterday, following vomiting, petechiae appeared on my face. What are petechiae? What should I do?

Petechiae are small red or purple spots on the skin caused by minor bleeding. They can appear on the face after vomiting and usually fade away within a few days. If they start to spread or grow, it may be necessary to see a doctor. But in most cases, they are harmless and nothing to worry about.
