Rash

Hi

Looking advice please. I have noticed this rash on my chest and back for a week now. Not particularly itchy but doesn’t seem to be going away. I haven’t looked about it as I thought it was a heat rash or insect bites. Can anyone advise please? Thanks

I am pretty sure that is fungal. Pharmacist will be able to confirm and give you over the counter cream.

Pityriasis rosea possibly.

Fungal. Use Clotramizole.

@Thequeenofwishfulthinking I agree, have had it myself. Should resolve in 2 or 3 months. Moisturiser and a mild steroids cream in case it itched was what the GP recommened. Cause is unknown possibly viral. It was years ago, but didn't cause me much bother at all. Good luck OP

Doubt it; that tends to have intense itching.
