What Causes Small Red Spots On Arms,neck And Face After Having Bronchitis?

I am a teacher who has little red spots on arms, neck, face, shoulders, chest. I recently traveled to Mexico and began having issues; I also had bronchitis, ear infection and heavy cough that did not resolve with amoxicillin and full pack of prednisone before the trip. Three weeks later I have this scattered rash with a light itch. I am also having sweats and cold chills when I am active (this sweating is rare). Could the sweating irritate my skin? I try to wipe down with a damp cloth after each episode.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small red spots on arms,neck and face after having bronchitis . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis , allergic reaction, medication side effect , sensitivity to sunlight , eczema , psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. Side effects of certain medicine can also cause such symptoms as antibiotics in your case , so discuss it with doctor . Avoid touching or pricking these rashes. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cold compresses on affected area to get rid from itchiness and redness and take benadryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment , antibiotics like clindamycin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
