pink spots

Flushed skin marks

Pink spots are small, pinkish discolorations on a surface, typically skin.

On the body, pink spots may indicate rash, irritation, allergic reaction, or various skin conditions.

The phrase is descriptive rather than a fixed medical term: The baby developed pink spots on her cheeks after eating strawberries.
