Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have some red spots on my chest area that have appeared about a few weeks ago. I was not sure what they were but they are dry and not itchy at all. However there is only one larger one and then a few smaller ones that are on my chest area. I have tried to clean it with neutrogena's acne face wash soap bar but that didn't work. Was just wondering what is this?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Possibilties for your condition are allergic rash to some thing you exposed or hair bed infection. If allergic rash then it goes and come. In that case taking anti histamines like cetrizine ( zyrtec ) and applying hydrocortisone cream for local application will be helpful. But if it is on hair bed or it appeared after shaving hair then it can be most likely hair bed infection. In that case washing with warm water and applying povidone iodine or brilliant green will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
