👉 Pinpricks are small, round, and often painful, puncturing or bleeding from a cut or wound. They can be caused by cuts, scrapes, stings, or bites. In medical terms, pinpricks can indicate an infection or inflammation in the area where they were made. It's important to note that pinpricks are not usually considered a sign of a serious health issue and should not be treated unless accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, swelling, or warmth around
