Posted on Wed, 18 Jun 2014
Question: Sir, I am working in XXXXXXX Just to inform you that the area where I stay is a bit dusty as my house owner is building extra room on the ground floor. I think due to the same there are rashes which has got developed on my chest or is it is due to the chemical reaction when doing medical test for ECG, the solution which was applied. This is there on the chest since a month from when I have done the medical test or is it heat allergy since temperature over here is 44 deg. Applied heat powder also. No change. Pl. suggest something for the same

Hello
There is a possibility that you might have developed rashes due to chemical reaction.
But these reactions usually fade away in a week.
Another possibility is fungal infection.
I would like to see a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and a better line of management.
