skin spot
by spaz83, Sep 29, 2009 07:17PM
About a month ago I got a red spot on my brest. It was slightly raised and iched. It is about the size of a quarter. The redness and itching went away but where it was is now a dry spot. It almost looks like a burn that has healed. Im not sure what it could be or if it is to be concerning. Any thoughts?

It can be contact dermatitis or eczema. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
