Small Red Spots On Chest And Stomach That Itches Occasionally, Stiff Neck And Sore Back. Causes ?
I ve recently had small red spots appear on my chest and stomach . They re oval in shape and are no larger than an eraser head. They will occasionally itch , but that s mostly only if I think about them. Finally, some of them have a scabby texture, whereas others don t. I also have a stiff neck and sore back, but I m not sure if the two are connected.

Hi,
You may be suffering from pityriasis rosea. It is a benign condition and at times takes 1.5 - 2 months for complete cure. Its exact etiology is not known.
Other possbilities are of dermatophytosis and seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Stiff neck does not seem to be connected with the skin disease.
Physician and dermatologist consultation must be sought.
