What Causes Bruised Rib With Severe Pain And Trouble In Breathing?
I think I have a cracked or bruised rib, although I don t remember doing anything to cause this. I have servere pain under my right boob and it is very tender to touch. It also catches my breath sometimes. But I have also noticed a small red spotty rash come up in the same area. I have exzema but it is not itchy and feels different.

Hello,
The small red spotty rash may be due to inflammation. It looks from your details that present tender area may be due to an inflammation which can be due to a small trauma or due to a mild infection. You should do following to have relief in this:
-Avoid heavy work
-Take rest
-You may have an anti inflammatory analgesic like diclofenac or aceclofenac on prescription
If any swelling in that area occurs or you feel feverish then you should consult to your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
