Spotty Red Rash on torso, legs, face, back, and arms.
I have just gotten back from the beach and two days before we left for home, my mother and I noticed this unnatural rash behind my left ear. I went down to the bathroom to check it out, I noticed the infectious rash started to spread to my torso. It was on my chest and it was in groups on my stomach. My little brother has this too. These blochey dotty rashes itch slightly and sting in hot water. I used a new soap the days before in the shower and on the following days of the rash occuring. I hav'nt conntacted a doctor yet, but I'm waiting for my mom to schedule and appointment. Please help me!!!

Hi,
THis could be a case of contact dermatitis.Contact dermatitis is the name for any skin inflammation that occurs when the skin's surface comes in contact with a substance originating outside the body.
Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is the more commonly reported of the two kinds of contact dermatitis, anf is seen in about 80% of cases. It can be caused by soaps, detergents, solvents, adhesives, fiberglass, and other substances that are able to directly injure the skin. Most attacks are slight and confined to the hands and forearms, but can affect any part of the body that comes in contact with an irritating substance. The symptoms can take many forms: redness, itching, crusting, swelling, blistering, oozing, dryness, scaliness, thickening of the skin, and a feeling of warmth at the site of contact.
The best treatment for contact dermatitis is to identify the allergen or irritating substance and avoid further contact with it.For the symptoms themselves, treatments in mild cases include cool compresses and application of calamine lotion.
For the itching you could take an oral anti-histamine.
