What Causes Itchy Red Rashes On Back And Breasts?
Question: hi i got red rash on my back and breast. Its really itchy
Brief Answer:
Allergic rash ,take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I have seen the attached picture .
I would say that the picture quality is not that great .
It would have been better if you could click some more better quality close up pictures of the affected areas and upload them here on this page .
From the picture ,I have two possibilities .
Either it is an allergic rash or it could even be pityriasis rosea which is a self limiting skin condition.
In either case ,it needs to be treated by application of topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected areas twice daily .
You can take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl for the associated itching.

The rash is most probably allergic in nature .
Just apply cortisone cream twice daily over the affected areas .
I am sure it should help .
See a nearby doctor if the rash tends to persist or increase.
