Two red spots / burn itch on chest
by ckelly, Feb 04, 2008 08:29AM
This morning after I got out of the shower, a small area on my chest was intensely itching and burning. It looks like two little red dots that are bothering me. The itch and burn lasted a couple of hours it seems to have settled down. But two small red dots remain.
I also wonder if it is the same that happened to me a couple of days ago when I had a pedicure. In the middle of it I had intense itch and burn on the back of my ankle. But because of the position of the itch I did not get a good look. It just looked raised and red.

Bot sure, but neither spot seems very serious. Just some local irritation, would be my guess. Just keep the areas moist and leave them alone, and you should be fine.
Best.
