What Does A Painful Rash On The Chest Indicate?
I have an area on my chest R. side about 3inches in diameter with a new brown, bumpy type mole within that area. My skin is sore to a very light touch. I have no idea what I may have done to contribute to the soreness. It is not sore beneath the skin, just topical. I have had it about 3 weeks. It has not lessened in pain. Last night it started to itch a bit, yet still quite sore. YYYY@YYYY

Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are many conditions which can result in painful rash. And you need to consult a dermatologist to exclude herpes zoster infection, which is a viral infection that is limited to on side of your body along with burning sensation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
