Reddish Splotchy Rashes On The Chest And Collar Area. No Itching. Reason?
I've been developing red splotches on my chest around the collar area for the past few years. They also appear on my arms but the look almost like a bite. They never go away, don't itch and don't appear to be raised. I'm also develop a facial rash around my face/hairline most from a fever but sometimes for apparent reason. What could this be from?

Hi, it seems that you are having tinea versicolor. It is superficial fungal infection. Take tab. ketoconazole daily one in morning for about one month. Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day. Do ketoconazole shampoo daily.do not take soap bath. You can use dettol for bath... Still, you consult dermatologist...ok
