Question 1

itchy skin high in rib cage near collarbone. red bumps on pink base?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: If the rash is localized to that area, it is most likely an allergic or irritant reaction to something that came in contact with your skin. But without seeing it, we can't be more specific than that.

Question 2

i have a red little bump on top my left rib cage and itch and a dark cloro around it?

Accepted Answer

Biopsy: You probably need a biopsy to diagnosis this lesion. See a physician.

Question 3

i have not had any symptoms of chicken pox but i have red bumps on my chest stomach neck and bavk . could it be chicken pox. they are not pimbles.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: There's always the possibility it may be chickenpox, and you should get it evaluated soon by a doctor to see if you need treatment.  Chickenpox in an adult is often associated with a more severe course than in childhood.

Question 4

i have a cut on my ribs that seems infected. recently i've started seeing a rashy group of red bumps trailing off up onto my chest. it's very painful?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Without being able to examine this would only be guessing. You need to have this seen by an experienced clinician, diagnosed and treated appropriately.  Good luck.

Question 5

what started out as a rash under my breast has now spread to red bumps that are itchy on my ribs and belly. its been a few weeks. nothing helps?

Accepted Answer

The LOCATION: suggests a FUNGAL infection.
Try an anti-fungal OTC Cream (ask Pharmacist for suggestions...) or arrange for a VIRTUAL consultation on Health Tap Prime for a NEW YORK STATE based physician who could after evaluation treat with ORAL medication!
Hope this is helpful

Question 7

i had poison oak for two weeks.  it has now being replaced by a rash with small red bumps on my ribs, chest, back-itches, burns and a yeast infection ?

Accepted Answer

What's the question: Sounds like a continuation of the poison oak which can last for weeks unless interrupted by treatment with steroids.  If you have a yeast infection on top of this it might be a little concerning with regards to your immune status, but if it remains localized may just be due to the exposed areas of contact dermatitis.  If your develop any other symptoms see your doctor.
