Question 7

i have a friend who has an itchy rash on his chest that develop into sores and eventually break and ooze. they are small and are all over his chest.

Accepted Answer

???????????: Is it only on one side of the chest or does it cross the middle ? Does it start as blisters, bumps, flat, red raised ,etc.? The causes of a rash can be quite extensive &amp; diagnosis is often visual. A detailed description can help, but with this vague description I would suggest you have someone evaluate it. Treatment if needed would depend on what it is.

Allergic reaction?: An itchy rash on chest, arms and neck could be due to an allergic reaction.

If not, please see primary care provider.
