Rash On Back, Looks Like A Sunburn, Just Above Right Buttock, Nausea, Stomach Cramps. Medical Attention Required?
Hi, I recently just returned from xxxxxx, and have noticed a very strange looking rash on my back, it s like sun burn but only affects a specific part of my back, just above my right buttock, the rash is painless but I have become very tired and woozy, occasional nausea and stomach cramps and very achy. I have been back 3 days now and not sure whether I should see what happens or go to a doctor, thanks.

Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be sunburn,contact dermatitis, friction dermatitis etc.
You need to watch carefully for spontaneous regression of rash.
If the rash increases or becomes symptomatic you can visit your primary care physician or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
