Ever since i was born, whenever i was exposed to the cold in any way, i always get these pinkish dots all over my body. And once i get warm, they go away. The dots look just like the chicken pox. The dots don't bother me in anyway.

I am wondering what this is, how rare it is, and if there is anything i can do about it.

wlcome to the forum..
It sounds like petichia..Normally they come out when a person is hot or feverish..Not sure--you may want to show your PCP but I would think as long as you arent sick you'll be ok..But like you I have to ownder what causes it..
