What Causes Rashes All Over Chest?
Since 2-3 days I ve been having rashes over my chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms and thighs. They are red and flat and of 5-10 mm in size. Itching is not that intense but yes it beginning to trouble me and I feel the rashes are only increasing day by day. What is the recommend treatment for me? Thank you in advance.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The rash since it is itchy in nature, may be due to an allergic reaction to some agent.
The use of an oral antihistamine may help along with a mild topical steroid such as hydrocortisone.
If the problem continues or worsens however, it would be best to see a doctor for assessment and any additional treatment.
I hope this helps
