What is the term for the small red spots on the skin that are caused by a too tight tourniquet?

The small red spots on the skin caused by a too tight tourniquet are called "petechiae." These tiny pinpoint hemorrhages occur when small blood vessels break due to increased pressure, leading to localized bleeding under the skin. Petechiae can also be associated with other medical conditions, but in this case, they result from the constriction of blood flow.
