small red marks on breasts

[dlg337]

Dear doctor,

For the past year or two I have has a small red mark on my left breast (possibly a petechia), I recently (in the past few months) noticed one just under my right breast, and today I noticed a second one on me left breast. I have had two very small ones on the inside of my right wrist since age 6/7 at the very least. I am a 25 year old canadian female and I concerned about this.

I have in the past few months been diagnosed with stress with unusual symptoms (constant tingling throughout my body, swollen gums). I have also had bloodwork twice in the past year and nothing unusual has appeared.

I am very anxious about this, should I be concerned?

Best regards.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and itching. Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

On closer inspection I also have a few very small ones on my thighs, I am not sure how long I have had them. I am very worried!
