Suggest Treatment For Spreading Rashes On The Chest

Posted on Sat, 20 May 2017

Question: I have gotten a rash on my chest but it is now spreading to my breast! Itching is un bearable. Cortisone cream does nothing, only thing that takes it away for a while is milk! Started under my left arm but like I said it is spreading.

Please upload an image

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It could be due to an allergic reaction. I would request you to upload image of the affected areas. It will help me to evaluate the condition. Taking some antiallergic like cetirizine or benadryl (or possibly better ones like fexofenadine or loratidine which are prescription medicines) should help. You also should apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion.

I would await your response. Let me know if I could help further.

I am concerned about your answer, I listed the creams I already used and that I had taken Benadryl, and you tell me to try Benadryl! Now I am concerned about this site. The picture of the Doctor is very blurry so I can hardly see him. Please cancel this service as I am wasting time here feeling horrible. I will go to an urge are.

Detailed Answer:
I thought that you would be sending a picture. I was waiting but never received it. I would change my profile picture as soon as possible but I do not think that my looks have anything to do with the resolution of your queries. You might have noted that there were other medicines mentioned as alternatives of Benadryl. Did you try them? I would insist you to try them first and them express grievances, if any. I am a doctor answering your query and have no capacity to cancel the service.
