Rash on right abdomen

by celticolleen, Apr 19, 2009 11:56AM
Yesterday, I noticed a rash on my right abdomen.  It goes from about where the bottom of my bra sits down to the top of my pantyline and is more on my side than my front or back.  At first, I thought that it was a mark left by material, like when you lay on a towel, but I hadn't been laying on anything like that.  It is still there today.  It does not itch or hurt.  It doesn't feel raised or bumpy.  I haven't changed any detergents, I have not worn anything new.  No new soaps or lotions.  Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Hi,

Are there other symptoms present? This could be an irritation, allergic reaction, infection or other skin conditions such as eczema or pityriasis rosea.  Pityriasis rosea is a scaly, reddish-pink skin rash. The cause of pityriasis rosea is uncertain, but is associated with viral or bacterial infection and certain medications. This rash usually goes away on its own. If pruritus is present, antihistamine or calamine lotion may help. If it persists, have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Direct clinical examination is important to determine the proper diagnosis.

Take care and keep us posted.
