Red Itchy Spots Mostly On Upper Body. What Could It Be?
I keep getting these red itchy spots. They use to only show up after or during my shower and they would soon fade. Now they have stayed on my skin and itch really bad sometimes. They are mostly on my upper body. I thought it might be ringworm so I put medicine on it but nothing seems to be happendd except there is now more. Do you k ow what this is?

Hi, it could be a cholinergic urticaria which is common post bathing.
I wud suggest you to take levocetrizine 5mg tab twice a day for 2 weeks and no need to apply a cream
may be it will solve the problem and avoid a hot bath
take care
