The image of green cabbage in the original prompt references a dangerous and unproven folk remedy. Applying cabbage leaves to these spots does nothing to address the underlying cause. Relying on such a “treatment” wastes precious time and could allow a serious condition to progress. This is not a skincare issue; it is a potential internal health signal.Health

Your Immediate Action Plan: What to Do if You See These Spots
Step 1: DO NOT PANIC, but DO NOT IGNORE.
Assess the context. Did they appear after intense vomiting, coughing, or lifting? That can cause benign straining. If they appear suddenly and without cause, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Conduct the “Press Test”
Press a clear glass against the spots. If they do not fade or blanch under pressure, it confirms it’s bleeding under the skin (petechiae/purpura), not a rash.
Step 3: Check for Associated “RED FLAG” Symptoms — CALL 911 if you have:
High fever with a stiff neck, severe headache, or confusion (signs of meningitis).
Difficulty breathing, chest pain, or rapid heart rate.
Sudden, severe weakness or dizziness.
