I went to the dermatologist a few days ago because I have dry, peeling, itchy patches of red mosquito bite-looking bumps on my chest, neck, and face. Turns out I have Pityriasis Rosea, a form of Rosacea most common in people 20-29 years old. There is no known cause or cure and will usally heal itself in 6-14 weeks. Since my check up I've reading about Pityriasis Rosea and a person can have it on the legs, trunk, arms, back, neck and rarely the face. Is the first spot you noticed bigger than the rest? Go see a doctor and ask them about Pityriasis Rosea.

No, it doesn't sound like herpes.  Fungus or eczema are more likely.  I suggest you make a dermatology appointment, and while you're waiting to be seen, use some 1% clotrimazole, an over-the-counter antifungal cream twice a day.

Best.

ps i also have all kinds of little red bumps where i shaved my pubic hair (no where near about 8" awayfrom the rash) (my gf likes it) theres no redness around them and im pretty sure there just razor rash but i thought id tell u anyways this is also the first time ive ever shaved so i don't know but the rash has been there for way to long and noy theres more. i can't really explain wat they look like kinda like small second degree burns and they keep peeling and look kinda scaley if i look real close, i also have none of these rashes on my genitals.    pLz tell me this isn't herpes!!! thanks
