Broken Clavicle, Rash Looks Like Pimple,hurts While Moving. Suggestion?
Hi 2 days ago I broke my right clavicle. Ive kept it mostly in a sling and ive been trying not to move it but now from my arm pit to my clavicle I have a rash. it almost looks like little pimples not red not itchy. is this just from lack of air. also it hurts worse to sit or stand it feels best being propped up or laying on my left side. is this ok

Hello
Thanks for wiring to HCM
Only sling is not the right management of clavicle fracture.
Your clavicle should be immobilized with figure of eight bandage.
You should consult orthopaedician.
If you have not taken the right management then there is every chance of malunion.
You can take analgesics for pain.
For rashes you can take tablet cetrizine.
Get well soon.
Take Care
