They are called petechiae - which develop sometimes when people have a strong cough or vomit. Small amounts of blood leak out of the capillaries and into the skin. Its no big deal when caused by vomiting. They will go a way in a few days.

Did she have a cough or did she puke at all....it could just be popped blood vessels from heaving...pressure from it can cause blood vessels to pop...same thing happens to my 5yr old..

If they just popped up, I'd say it's probably chicken pox.
