Reddish Rashes Under The Breast, Abdomen Getting Bigger In Size. No Pain Or Itching. What Are These?

Hello. I am a sixteen year old female and I've been experiencing a red rash of some sort on my skin for the past year and a half about. It began as a small light red circle on the underside of my breast, and slowly over the past year and a half has been spreading. Now there are many smaller ones about the size of between a pencil eraser and a dime across my upper stomach, and the one on my breast has gotten much larger. There is no pain, itching, and it is not raised (you cannot feel them), but I would like to get rid of it and I was wondering if it could be a symptom to anything more serious (even though I've had basically no health issues since I've gotten them). Thank you!

Hi, welcome to HCM.

It seems that you are having superficial fungal infection .. Tinea versicolo,also known as pityriasis versicolor.
It is caused by malassezia furfur.
It resides on scalp.
It spreads in superficial layers of skin and disturbs the color.

Anti fungal ... Itraconazole,fluconazole, ketoconazole will cure the disease.
Cream of ketoconazole, miconazole,clotrimazole may be applied.
Shampoo containing ketoconazole may be used.
Avoid soap bath., use dettol liquid for bath.

Have healthy food, good sleep to improve immunity.

I hope you will be benefitted...
