Odd Rash

I have had this rash on my chest, back and a little on my arm for about a week now.  They look like rounded, slightly faded bug bites.  What's even weirder is that after I shower the same rash pattern appears on my forehead for about 5 minutes and then goes away....yet the rash on my chest etc is still there...can anyone help?

ive tried a couple of different allergy medications...nothing has really worked.

Hi,

You could take some oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications like loratadine or cetrizine and see if it helps with your symptoms. Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions to help soothe the itching.

Have you had allergic reactions in the past? Are you allergic to any specific substances?

You would still need to consult your doctor about the associated symptoms you are having and to rule out a bacterial or fungal infection or insect bite and whether you need a course of antibiotics or other medications.

Let us know about how you are doing and post us about what your doctor advises.
