Tiny Red Dots on Eyelids

It sounds like petechiae, or very tiny pinprick bruises (most of the time they are not painful at all) caused by broken blood vessels right under the skin. I have gotten them from coughing to hard, sneezing a lot, hard vomitting etc. If I remember correctly, I had them after I had recent surgery where I needed anesthesia. I am guessing that it is from either the mask being applied or the anesthesia, or the pressure from the dental work. They will fade away in a few days to a week.

It could be petechiae. My daughter got them all over her body when she got ITP. It's little blood bursts. There was nothing we could do about them and they just went away. They didn't bother my daughter either. Since it's your daughter's eyes, I would call the pediatrician anyway.

Maybe she was squinting her eyes shut really hard from that bright light that goes in your eyes?? I get those dots on my eyes when I vomit - that is the only thing that I can think of that they might be.....

It's what Victoria said. It will go away in a few days.

Hi,

My daughter got somthing similar around 6 or 7 months but it was a rash of little red dots right below her lower lash line it wasnt painful to her and it was just on one eye.. anywho my aunt told me to wipe her eye with a warm clean wash cloth for a couple of days and it went away and hasn't returned!
