What Causes A Red Rash On The Stomach?

I have a red rash on my stomach that first appeared two days ago. It s centered around my navel, but there s some bumps in my groin area also, and in the last day, there s been two or three appear higher up on my chest (on ribs under breast). They don t really hurt or itch that bad. The day they appeared, I had a headache earlier that day, and I did not feel 100%, but it wasn t anything that concerned me until the rash appeared. I ve been having some back pain and pain in my right arm (in the muscle) recently, but I m not sure that is related. I am a type 2 diabetic, and I recently started taking Januvia within the last few weeks. I had been taking Jardiance. Also, I used a new soap and lotion that was made locally a few days prior to getting the rash. I actually tried it because I had been experiencing an unusual amount of itching skin, mostly on my arms, which occurred after I d been in the sun for awhile. I am currently on vacation, so I haven t been a me to consult with my regular doctor about any of this. I d appreciate any information anyone could give me until I can get back home and see my doctor. Think you so much!

Hi,

It may be an allergic reaction. Use your regular soap and shampoo. It will cure over time. You can use some Calamine lotion over the rash. If it gets severe, then get yourself tested.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
