What Causes Rashes On My Stomach And Back?

I have a rash that appeared on my stomach sides and back this morning. there are long red marks that look like rake marks. There are also lots of little red spots. It does not itch. I went for a jog this morning and I think the heat and sweat made it spread because the red spots have moved to my legs and arms and hands. The worse part is the stomach and back though. Thankfully, nothing on the face yet!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes on stomach and back which seems to be due to hair follicle infection by bacteria and as sebaceous glands are abundant there so clogging of skin pores by bacteria, debris and dead decaying substances. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain cleanliness of area and keep it dry. You should take diet rich in multivitamins and apply betnovate cream 2-3 times a day. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mupirocin on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. You should apply vitamin E Oil at night as well. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
