Weird non-itching rash
by mal2091, Jul 25, 2008 04:57PM
Hi all has anyone ever run into a non itching rash that comes in small collections of 2-5 little bumps? I seem to have it in places where my skin comes into contact with fabrics while exercising and I am sweating. I have had it for a while on inside of my arms, near my triceps as well as down both sides of my torso right to the crease where my torso meets my legs.
I have tried cortizone, as well as calamine to no avail. Any ideas?

It seems that the lesion that you have described here is actually due to the release of sweat from the sweat pores and their obstruction causing the development of what is known as Keratosis Pilaris.
They develop due to increased activity of the sweat glands, and can be cured by wearing cotton clothes and staying in cool areas.
They are benign and have no complications other than infection if they are scratched and removed.
Hope this hlped.
