Question 9

hi. i am a 27 year old man and 5 days ago i had a pain on my chest area. after 2 days a blistery itchy rash developed on my chest. i am scared?

Accepted Answer

Do not be worried: If the rash is on both sides of the chest, then you might have folliculitis, which is an inflammation of the hair follicles. If you work out, this could happen. Try an over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash (mildest) and if there is not improvement see your PMD or dermatologist.

Question 10

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.
