What Causes Hot Red Rash Beneath Chin?
Hello there. It is very strange but recently I have noticed a hot red rash just beneath my chin when I run on the treadmill. I was wearing a chain which I have removed as I thought I might be allergic to something in it, but still had the same symptoms. It is very very odd and I cannot fathom why this is happening. Any ideas??

Hi,
You seem to suffer from urticaria, most probably Cholinergic urticaria. The wheals occur due to perspiration caused by physical exercise or stress. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Antihistaminics like Cetirizine may be taken till the cure. If needed, oral steroid in tapering dose. Avoid physical exercise or heavy work for few weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
