Question 1

had zits on breasts for years. 2 months ago popped large zit on breast. healed but left large faded red spot with red scar center. should i worry?

No: It'll take a few more months for the little vessels in the scar to mature and for the mark to fade. Your physician can manage pimples there. Best wishes.

See your doctor.: You should be seen by your doctor or at a medical facility. It sounds like you might have a bacterial skin infection, which might need prescription treatment.

Infection: An infection. Please go to the doctor to get it diagnosed and treated.

Question 4

had hives recently, and meds helped, but have an itchy red spot on chest, that doesn't improve w/steroids. dr. checked for mold, but nothhing. help!

Accepted Answer

Hives: It sounds as if you are having a dermatologic condition called urticaria.  Urticaria is the medical terminology for hives.  It is the bodies response to a certain stimulus, such as an allergy.  The body will release histamine in response to a stimulus and histamine causes redness, swelling and itching.  Other triggers of urticaria can be cold/heat, stress, medicines, or with you, pressure on skin!

Question 5

i have 3/4 tiny red spot below my chest ....is it normal ? some time i could see it on other parts .

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: Could be most anything. Without a photo or clinical evaluation, it is impossible to tell you more.

Question 6

i have this raised orange red spot on my chest which is slightly painful. there is another one beside it but it is unpigmented.  is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: It is obviously not normal but is is likely a minor issue. Have it evaluated if you are concerned

Question 7

i am breaking out with red spot on my upper chest. i have a history of plme and have taken hydroxy zine and a topical of tryaminaline. no resolution?

Accepted Answer

See dermatology: PMLE, polymorphous light eruption, can respond to UV therapy.  See your dermatologist for treatment.

Question 8

have a tiny red spot on skin under right chest (upper rib). not raised or itchy. looks like cut but isn't.i have  2 others on left pectoral(also tiny)?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: This sounds like what are called cherry hemangiomas.  These are little gifts that you get from one or both of your parents.  They are simply made up of hundreds of small blood vessels.  These growths never turn bad.  You will continue to get more as you get older.  They are very easily treated with a laser without leaving any marks.

Question 9

2 weeks ago i noticed a red spot with a lump on my left breast .feels warm since then the redness has went away but the small lump  hasnt.

Accepted Answer

Small lump: As described, it sounds like you had a localized abscess or type of localized infection (with the redness, palpable lump, and warmth).  Since the lump is still there, you need to have it evaluated to be safe to assure it does not need antibiotics or to assure it is not something more serious. Best wishes.

Question 10

red spot on my breast and it hurts, what is causing this?

Accepted Answer

It could be: an insect bite.   If it doesn't resolve in a few days, or if the pain/redness is increasing, see your doctor for possible infection/cellulitis.
