What Cause Rash Like Red Spot Appear On Chest?
hi, so a few days ago tiny red dots have appeared on the chest cleavage area. They are not itchy or have a burning or tingling sensation. Im wondering if it's a rash. Although, i recently started using a new body wash that may be the cause of the tiny red dots? im wondering why these dots have appeared.

Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From your description it seems like Miliaria which are tiny papules caused due to excessive sweating.
Nothing to worry as its self resolving. For soothing effect apply calamine lotion twice a day.
Cold compresses additionally will also help you.
Sprinkle ample amount of good talcum powder over such areas to absorb excess sweat.
Hope the information was useful.
Take care
