Has he had a bone marrow transplant or chemotherapy?
Little red spots could be caused by a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)
I had little red spots on my arms and legs when I had low platelets.
A CBC blood test could determine if that is the cause.
Mild fever can be associated with infection and/or high white cell count.
It would be a good idea to get him in to see a doctor and get a blood test.

Kim's operation went well. She is feeling less pain today. Thank you for your prayers. It was strange for me being on the other side of the operating room door. She did very well.
I had my pentamidine inhale treatment today at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo.
We have been in three different hospitals since Tuesday. Hopefully, we are done with the hospitals for this week. :-)
My oncology doctor told me, Tuesday, that her dream is that someday they don't need chemotherapy or radiation to treat leukemia. There will just be a switch that they can turn that will make the body stop making leukemia cells and make just normal cells again.
