Question 1

i have a bunch of red spots on my chest like zits they itch a little but hert to what kind of cream do i use?

Accepted Answer

May need antibiotics: Little red dots that look like acne, occurring on the chest, can be acne if the person usually has chest acne. If the person usually has no rash there, then the spots are more likely infected skin pores, oil glands, hair follicles, etc...  If quite mild, over-the-counter antibiotic (like neosporin) cream can be tried. If the rash is big and/or growing, the a doctor may use stronger antibiotics.

Question 2

i feel my face dry all the time. sometimes itches and red spots appear, even without being washed or in contact with face creams. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea?: If the rash does not cross the bridge of the nose and you tend to flush a lot, the rosacea is the likely cause. Often a Rx antibiotic cream may help but oral antibiotic may also be needed. Talk to your doctor or consult a dermatologist.

Question 3

my left breast has red spots kinda like whelps right above the areola and it itches really bad. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Itchy Breast: Paget's disease of the nipple is a rare form of breast cancer and on the surface, has the same symptoms of nipple eczema: crusty, scaling rash with the sensation of burning and itchiness. It usually occurs on just one nipple, so if the rash on just one nipple persists, it is best to get a thorough exam for the peace of mind. I usually time it with my annual gynecology exam.

Question 4

i have a dark red spot on my breast which itches at times and if pushed, is sore. it appeared 20 days ago and  has not spred.  i was prescribed amoxicillin, and applied muprirocin no changes..  now 2 days using steroid cream and it seems worse. ibc?

Accepted Answer

Stop steroid!: If it is worse after using the steroid, it is either a yeast infection, or a bacterial infection that is worsening.   I suspect yeast, because antibiotics did not help.  But I can't say that for sure, and you need to call your doctor today and ask what to do, since your doctor examined the rash, and I have not..  If you have fever, rapidly increasing pain, warmth, or red streaks, get seen STAT.

Question 5

i have tiny little red spots and whiteheads on my face and chest. mildly itchy but not painful. had acne, this not it. allergy? or serious?

Accepted Answer

Multiple possibility: Multiple conditions like folliculitis, pseudomonal folliculitis, acne, miliaria, among others can create lesions like these.

Question 6

my son is 3 and always gets red spots on face neck n chest.why does this happen?what is it?currently on neck, they don't look like pimples.

Accepted Answer

Allergy: Could be a reaction to something.  Start with a pediatrician.  He may need an allergist, but a doctor needs to see the spots to help didagnosis.

Question 7

what would cause a rash (sudden red spots on chest and body) without any itching or fever?

Accepted Answer

: There are probably 1000 different causes.  What meds are you taking? Any recent viral infection?  Travel outside US in last 90 days. Tick bite? Measles?  Chicken pox? Fleas. Bed bugs, COVID-19, poison ivy, cherry angiomas you just started noticing.  Infected hot tub. Low platelets. As you can see need much more detail to be able to help. And a picture is worth 1000 words.

Question 8

do you advise to use bleaching creams to treat dark red spots from acne while  on accutane?

Accepted Answer

Red Spots: Bleaching creams are used to treat brown spots not red spots. You could use Mederma or kelocote both of them are over the counter.

Question 9

after using hair remover cream, my leg and thigh skin has irritation and itching, and some red spots are appeared.how it can be treated?

Accepted Answer

Hair removal: All depilatories, or hair removal creams are irritating.  If they give you a rash, you should probably not use them.  Otc cortisone can help to reduce redness.

Question 10

best acne fighting combination? please in need of help for red spots too i have panoxyl 4 cream wash and clyndamicin antibiotic anythin else i cud use

Accepted Answer

Add systemic: Like many men, the topical rx isn't sufficient though clindamycin's a great topical. Ask your physician about a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline 500 2x/day, if you're not satisfied after one month, it's time to get with a dermatologist about accutane, which is neither pleasant nor risk-free but in my opinion worth it.
