I Recently Got These Rashes On My Chest/waist/side Chest And Neck Area
Question: I recently got these rashes on my chest/waist/side chest and neck area.
Brief Answer:
It does not look like cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help for you today. According to your rash image and history you can get sun rash. The symptoms can be red, clusters of blisters or tiny bumps and rough patches of skin etc.. It does not look like cancer. This sun rash doesn’t require treatment. Sometimes it can be gone spontaneously in a week or two if you are not exposed to the sun anymore. You can apply moisturizer to the rash areas and wear sunscreen with a long sleeve shirt to cover from the sun. If this rash doesn’t subside you may need some medicine to apply to reduce the rash symptoms.
I hope that It can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I hope you have good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician

Hi I woke up today with more rashes, I think it might be from COVID-19. Do they look like COVID rashes, do the rashes happen after i've had covid?
Brief Answer:
Your rash looks like a morbilliform but also comes from the sun rash.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you again for your question. Multiple skin manifestations have been described in patients with confirmed Corpnavirus. This includes a morbilliform rash, urticaria, pernio-like, acral lesions, levedo-like, vascular lesions, vesicular and varicella-like eruptions. Your rash looks like a morbilliform but also comes from the sun rash. You can try antihistamine medicine and topical steroid cream for your rash. Why do you expect that you have Covid 19? Do you have any fever? Difficult to breath? If you have those symptoms you should see a doctor.
Wish you and you have good health. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi - I uploaded an image, please see 2983. There are new spots showing up everyday, they are also a little itchy (not constantly just a little bit).I do not have any COVID symptoms but I was around someone that did test positive, however that was a good bit ago. Would the COVID rash come after i've had it?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you again for your question. Yes i could see the picture. Case series from around the world have identified a range of potential dermatologic manifestations of COvid-19. The frequency (ranging from 0.2 to 20.4 percent of cases) and timing of skin rash manifestations of Covid 19 are difficult to ascertain. Also unclear is the association of certain skin manifestations with the illness severity. You still can try to take antihistamine medicine and topical steroid.
