I Have Some Itchy Rashes On My Chest Which Will Become Pink After Scratching
I recently started getting these rashes on my chest last week.
I don't know what it is but it started itching & I started scratching it. It became pink dots. It got better in 3 days but after since, yesterday, it came back but this time it's pink and flaky like the size of a pencil erasers & it's itchy.
What is this cause?

Localised rashes like chest is an effect of atopical dermatitis, therefore try to observe what kind of lotions,soap applied or what type of cloth material dressed on top. Some ladies are allergic to silk material this at times have toxins to your skin.

thanks for choosing health care magic.This could be some allergic reaction clothes,cosmetics or food.Avoid any new thing which you might have used recently.Apply some moisturizing lotion over the area to reduce itching.You can take anti allergic drugs for relief.If not improved please see your doctor.
