Hello,
I am a 27 year old male and about a week ago I noticed a rash on my upper chest about an inch from my right nipple. The rash appeared to be like 4 small bumps in a circle formation. I noticed it when it itched a bit. However there are no blisters, or pus formations or anything the sorts and no rashes anywhere else.
It's one week later and am applying Locoid Lipocream. The bumps are pratically gone, however the pinkinsh rash is still there, however I think those are subsiding too (although my mind can play tricks on me :)). I did speak to my dermatologist and he said it could be a chemical reaction, or flea bites or "cold sores" unlikely though. (Do cold sores appear on the chest?) Could this mean I have herpes? I have only been in one relationship and we are married now. He also assured it is not pre-cancer or cancer of any kind.
He mentioned that when the small bumps go down, it could take up to a month for the rash itself to go away. Can it really take that long for the rash to go away?
If you can please shed some light on this, it would be great!
Thank you,
H
