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.

Question 8

itchy rash on small areas of upper chest and shoulder?

Reaction 2 somthing: If it's red and itchy, more than likely it's an allergic reaction to something (new skin care product, soap, detergent, fragrance, etc...) could be something else though, so should be checked and treated to give you relief.

Question 10

small bumpy rash on chest not really itchy not widespread little red bumps some raised some not

Accepted Answer

Red bumps: The rash you are describing could be one of a number of things.  Non itchy, to mildly itchy rashes on the chest can be associated with viruses (which resolve on their own), or can be a form of a more chronic skin condition.  If the rash does not resolve spontaneously, or if it worsens it is best to see your physician.
