Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy rashes on chest and back. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query meningitis , chickenpox , contact dermatitis , eczema , dry skin , eczema and erythema nodosum. Need not to owrry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on rashes , avoid applying any cosmetic product except petroleum jelly , take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl and drink plenty of water . If condition doesn't get well the consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like blood test , allergy test and skin patch test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment or antibiotics like clindamycin .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
