Red Blotches on Chest
by CarterP, Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM
I have about 5-6 small red blotches on my chest, raining in size from a quarter of an inch to and inch and a half. The do not itch and are not raised. They are a very light pink color and a bit darker on the edges. They have been there for a few month and are not going away. Any ideas?

Not really. Your description does not remind me of anything serious, though. They may be an effect of the sun over the years, but not a significant one. To find out exactly what they are, you'll need to show them to someone in person.
Sorry I can't be more specific.
