What Is The Cause Of Random Eruption Of Red Spots On The Chest ?
I woke up today and had 40-50 red spots on my chest - they all appeared overnight. They don t itch and they don t look like acne either. Just odd red spots. I usually do not have acne on my chest either. Male 22. I do heavy lifting in the gym everyday. What could it be? I think it has happened before too.

Hi, this sudden eruption of red spots on chest indicates it's allergic origin or traumatic origin. If there is any history of drug intake for any reason like pain, can result in red spots called erythema multiforme. You should discontinue drug in that case. Apply calamine lotion and Tab Ebast 10mg daily once enough for 5 days. If no relief, you need to directly consult dermatologist.
