Question 1

i have a 6 inch high by 4 inch wide non-itchy rash evenly spread along the base of the spine. what could the be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: Without more information, it's really difficult to say for certain.  Usually things like shingles or herpes have fluid filled bumps.  Mild eczema doesn't have to be itchy, it can just tingle or feel irritated.  If you're not having fever, it's not painful, and you're feeling well otherwise, its okay to wait a few days before seeing the doctor, but you should get it checked if it doesn't go away.

Question 2

8cm brown-red itchy rash on middle upper back right on spine. no other symptoms. 2nd occurrence this year. fungal infection?

Accepted Answer

It is really: difficult to guess at correct diagnosis without visualizing a lesion. This would be best handled by an in-person dermatological evaluation.

Question 3

See doctor for eval: The rash needs to be evaluated.  Need to see your primary care physician or a dermatologist who will need to do careful history and Physical exam.

Question 4

i have had a non itchy rash on the back of both calves for a couple of years and no one can tell me why.

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: Have you seen a dermatologist?  They specialize in skin conditions and could shed some light on your condition.  Consider a biopsy of the area in question.

Question 5

sensitivity to bright lights..itchy rash patterns are coming daily on back and shoulders..what could it be? some kind of automimme disease?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: Sensitivity to bright lights is a nonspecific symptom. Recurrent itchy rash on back and shoulders could be an allergic reaction to something that comes in contact with the skin in those areas. A yeast infection called tinea versicolor involves the back and is more apt to occur if the skin is warm, moist and oily. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 6

i have a pimple-like, non-itchy, rash on my back. not red or visible from far. spread to whole back over 2 weeks. no new products or other symptoms. ?

Accepted Answer

Rashes need exam for: diagnosis.  Since it is not itchy or red and located just on the back, it does not sound like allergic reaction or viral exanthema.  A common cause of papules on the back is miliaria, or heat rash, which is caused by blocked sweat pores.  Alternatively, dry skin can cause blockage of the hair follicle and cause small papules or keratosis pilaris.  This is benign, and is commonly seen on upper arms

Question 7

Question 9

Accepted Answer

See dermatolgist: You will likely need a skin biopsy to find out the cause and thus i suggest you consult a dermatologist.

Question 10

what does is mean if i have a bumpy itchy rash on my chest back and shoulders and face?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: There are many things that could cause the skin to itch.  Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin.  Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
