    Whats this

    Ok, I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but does anyone know what this rash is. It doesn't look like much, but it itches really bad. It is on my chest, in a very odd place for a rash to be. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.[sm=blush.gif]

    W[sm=eek.gif]W, that took me by surprise.  I'm not much into human stuff.  Whatever it I hope you get an answer, it's kind of blurry so from what I see could be anything.

    Aina, I don't know what it is but I don't like it  I would go to the doctors.

    It's blury, but if I didn't know it was on your chest I might say it almost looks like poison ivy/poison oak.  Kinda hard to get it there.  Other than that, I would ask if you changed anything recently  - laundry soap, fabric softener, deodorant, perfume, ANYthing.  I'm allergic to certin fragrences in soap/lotion, etc and I would get a rash on my chest. 

    Try some hydrocortisone cream on it until you can get to the doc's - I also have a severe skin reaction to neosporin/bacitracin/antiseptic, etc and it's the only thing that works.  Prescription strength is like 2x the normal OTC concentration, so it's okay to use a bit more than they say OTC to see if that helps.  But get it looked at if it  persists.
     
    ETA - but it's not oozing right? poison ivy would ooze..... so definitely not that, not to mention on your chest!

    May I ask if you wear anything metal that may have touched that area (like a necklace)? 'Cause I get rashes from metal. Like if I wear a watch (even if only the clock and buckle are metal), I get an itchy rash on those places.

    Ok, some more information. It has been there for a while, about two months. It is in a place where it is only touched by my under garments. I think it started when I got a new bathing suit in the begining of summer. The patch of skin is about the size of my thumb, maybe a little bit bigger.  I think there might be another patch growing on the other side of my chest, but it isn't visable yet. This side hasn't grown in a while though.
    I really don't want to go to the doctor because of the placement of this rash, and I am rather shy.

    going to a doctor is going to put your mind to rest.its alot better than worriing about all the what ifs.

    any doctor you go and see has seen it all before,so you ought not worry about bieng shy...

    go get it checked out..

    It sounds like a yeast infection of sorts. You really need to be seen medically to get it treated.
     
    Good luck

    But isn't it less embarrassing for 1 doctor to see it, rather than thousands of people on the internet?   I'm just saying...  Maybe it's eczema?

    The first thing that comes to mind is a cancer that I was informed about. Is this on your breast? I got an email and a letter the other day about a rash that forms on your breast. It could leak puss, it could not. You have to get this checked. You could have scabbies? This cancer? Or an alergic reaction. This rash is a warning sign that something is not right. Shy or not get your butt to a DR. Right away. I'm shy too, but still have to get things poked at by a DR that I would rather not get poked at by a DR.
