Skin Rash ?

[Steve_30]

Hi Everyone, im new to the forum so hi !

Im hoping to find a some information on my condition which ive just started to notice.

Basically, i have light red spots, (size of a penny) oval shaped on the side of my stomach and near my waist line. They are not itchy or raised and do not bother me at all. I just would like to know what they are. Im 30 years old and just started to get them. They are most visable after a hot bath which i think brings them out more. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Dr. Rajput.

They are always present, but more visable after a bath for some reason.

Hi, welcome to the forum, this seems to be a form of allergy. The allergen can be in the form of hot water bathing (temperature factor), low humidity environments, xerosis (dry skin), overheating of skin, and exposure to solvents and detergents.

Avoiding these situations is helpful for acute flares as well as for long-term management.

In such condition maintenance of adequate hydration of the skin is quite important. Which includes thick creams (eg, Eucerin, Cetaphil, Nutraderm), which have a low water content, or ointments (eg, petroleum jelly, Aquaphor, Petrolatum), which have zero water content, are better.

Along with above measure use of anti histamines and corticosteroids will help to reduce itching (if present) of the skin as well as rash.

I suggest you to consult dermatologist. Take care and regards.
