Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of large red rash on the stomach which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can cause pimple. It could be due to a systemic condition.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you keep this area clean and dry. You should apply cold compresses on the skin. wear loose cotton clothes. If the condition doesn't get better then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for a lab test. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants and may prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
