Suffering With Cold Virus, Have Red Spots On Breasts And Stomach, No Itching. What Is The Reason?
Hi, I ve had a cold virus for a day now but last night I developed red spots on my breasts and stomach . There are about 20 of them spread out across my stomach/ chest . I just want to know if this could be from a virus or if I should go to a doctor to have it looked at. They are not itchy just dry looking. No whiteheads either..

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Viral illnesses can sometimes be associated with a rash which is termed viral exanthem.
The rash is usually self limiting and not associated with significant problems.
You can monitor it for now, if it worsens or you remain concerned then you should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
