What Do Red Rashes On The Chest Indicate?
I ve been getting red small blotches on my chest ..first it started off as a small spot and it s just been spreading and spreading...my mom has psoriasis and knows the symptoms well..she said that I might have eczema...she first gave me a cream to help get rid of it..it did nothing..didn t even slow it down..then she gave me a translucent paste that she said she uses an it should kill it off..I have been using it for two weeks and it still continues to spread..what could it be ? And what might help stop it?

Hello,
First of all, your query is not descriptive enough. Are these lesions itchy? What is the name of that ointment? Psoriasis to be precise does not start from the chest in general. Maybe a case of tinea that got aggravated due to inadvertently used steroid cream. If I may suggest stopping all ointments. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
