What Causes Red Blotches On Face And Chest Area?
Question: My face and chest has red blotchy spots, heartburn and diarrhea. Came on suddenly
Brief Answer:
Skin rash, diarrhea, heart burn
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
It is quite possible that you are having either some viral infection which can cause red rashes over face and chest and also diarrhoea or reaction to some drug presumably ampicillin group of drugs. If at all you are taking, which can also cause facial rash and diarrhea, particularly in case of EB virus infection(infectious- mononuncleosis).
Otherwise it is difficult to assess in absence of detail history and physical examination. As far as heart burn is concerned you may be having gastro-esophageal reflux disease which usually respond to proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole.
