What Could Itchy, Red, Spreading Rashes On Stomach, Back And Neck Indicate?
I have had a rash on my stomach back and chest that is slowly spreading to my arms and legs and even my face. It has been about three weeks and I ve had two doctors appointments and one ER visit but no one can help me as to what this could be. i have no fever or nausea but recurring headaches when i wake up that stays throughout the day, very dull pain in middle of my forehead. This rash is somewhat itchy and looks like little red dots like chicken pox almost but is blistering over and drying out. Mainly on my back all over but worse on the sides of my stomach from armpit to hip. already had chicken pox when i was a kid so i know it can t be that.

Hi,
I feel the thing strted with sweating in skin folds remind there to help fungi to settle in skin. This got secondarily infected by bacteria involving hair roots & spreading to other parts of body.
Till you meet the doctor apply Neosporin H & Soframycin skin ointments( over the counter) to affected area.Keep the skin clean, wear only cotton loose fitting clothes.
In case of no relief / recurrence.. you need treatment with antibiotics & anti fungal orally along with local treatment.You should consult a skin specialist for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
