Rash across upper body/chest?

[maaya169]

Do I have an infection of some sort? These dark red spots have popped up around 6-8 months ago and still with me to this day. Not Itchy or anything. Some days they are more visible then other days.. Its mostly up the chest area and down the torso... i am a 23 F slim. wondering if anyone has had these or seen these before. I've included a pic in my profile in album 1. Thanks

Hi, thanks for replying to my post. I did get it checked out and found out that it was Ringworm (tinea corporis). I was prescribed some fungus cream and it was gone within 1-2 weeks :)

Hi,
A clinical examination is essential for correct diagnosis and management. These dark spots can be due to any dermatitis, fungal infection or impetigo. Fungal infection may not present with intense itching and there may be red spots over the torso .These red spots may have a central clearing with some mild scaling. Have you had some bouts of flu like symptoms at the onset of your skin condition? Viral infections, allergic reactions may be differentials in your case. You need to get it checked by a dermatologist. Treatment will be specific based on the cause.
Best luck and kind regards!
