I Have Small Red Itchy Spots On Torso And Chest.

I have small, red spots on my torso and chest that are very itchy and become pronounced in the winter months. I live in Phoenix, so we don t have real cold weather, however, it is quite dry. I don t see any pattern. I have a very hairy chest and the spots seem to be primarily near my breast- bone and on the flanks of my torso.
