What Causes Red Rash On The Skin?
I am 19 and work at a golf course. I just did my laundry using new laundry soap and I live in resort employee housing with Phili[ino foreign exchange students. I am American, and now have a red rash that looks like mosquito bites or spider bites on my belt line. Any ideas of what it could be?

Hi,
It may be most probably lichen urticatus or papular urticaria. It is due to a hypersensitivity reaction to insect bites. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would recommend you to take tab Cetirizine daily and to apply a mild steroid cream. If needed, you may take oral steroids in tapering dose, but after consulting your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
