What Causes Outbreak Of Red Dots Across The Chest And Shoulders?

These red dots have appeared across my chest and shoulders yesterday after my leg workout! They do not itch, but They are jus there! I exercise at least 2 to 3 hours a day and my diet is constantly changing and I had sushi for my cheat meal last night, in which later that night is when I noticed the dots! I am just curious of what this might be!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of outbreak of red dots across the chest and shoulders which seems to be due to hair follicle infection by bacteria and as sebaceous glands are abundant there so clogging of skin pores by bacteria, debris and dead decaying substances. The symptoms can also occur due to chiccken pox , scabies or psoriasis . I would suggest you to maintain cleanliness of area and keep it dry. You should take diet rich in multivitamins and apply betnovate cream 2-3 times a day. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mupirocin on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. You should apply vitamin E Oil at night as well. Also apply cold compresses .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
