Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Spot On Upper Left Torso

I have an itchy red spot on my upper left torso along my bra line in line with my beer arm that keeps coming back. The area is red with what looks like a slight rash. Thui spot has been recurring for about a year. This time I ve had it for about two weeks. It is really irritating. The spot is small but raised and hurts if I press on it.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy red spot on upper left torso. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction , side effect, sensitivity to sunlight , eczema , psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis.

If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , antibiotics or immunosuppressants .
