Since young, Alycia’s face will be speckled with tiny red dots whenever she throws up. But with the latest vomiting last week, I had to break out laughing after she threw up because my daughter with immaculate skin as white as snow, turned into a cute freckled face girl! Brown freckles to be exact. I notice that the post-vomiting outbreak of red dots on the face is more visible on those with fair skin. I am one who will have it too. During my pregnancy with Alycia where I had severe morning sickness and vomiting, the veins in my eyes turned bloody after severe vomiting for a few weeks. The thought of going through another pregnancy makes me shudder… though I love babies.
My little Snow White with a freckled face. The freckles look red here (because of her rosy cheeks) but actually, they were all brown. She looked exactly like a brown freckled face 8-year old for about 4 -5 days!

Looks a bit like petechiaea…caused by local bursting of the fine capillaries on the surface from increased intrathoracic pressure from vomitting/ cough/ choking. I know some people panic with the appearance but good thing you didn’t!
