Red Itchy Rash On Stomach, Contact Dermatitis, Itchy, Dry, Bumps. Causes For Symptoms?
i have a red itchy dark rash patch on my stomach below my belly button for a few months now. recently it has been itchier then ever and has gotten a little bigger and raised on my skin. i beleive it might be some type of dermatitis maybe contact dermatitis but i cant be to sure. i tend to shave in the same area where i have the patch (happy trail) and maybe the razor i was using at the time was a bit old which i already threw out once i noticed the rash 3-4 months ago but its still itchy and bumpy and dry. please help me ease my mind i am a very paranoid person.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You have developed an allergic reaction.
It is possible that any cream or other product used during shaving caused you allergy.
Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide,
Also take an antihistamine tablet.
This will give you some relief.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
