What Causes A Rash On The Chest?
I have a rash on my chest from belt line to upper chest. I first noticed it about 1 month ago. I have also located it in the center of my lower back. I have tried Caladryl, with no changes. My wife thought it might be a heat rash, however I do not. I live in Puerto Rico, a very humid tropical climate. ???

Hello,
I think it would be better if you attach a photo in reports for me to see the rash and to help me through diagnosis.
I think this rash may probably be a fungal infection of the skin. You can use Lamisil or Cotrimoxazole cream over it to make it heal. Also, wash well area and dry it well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
