What Causes Red Dots On The Ribcage Skin In A Straight Line?
I have been getting these red dots on my ribcage on the skin that are in a straight line. Im really concerned. I get them after sleeping but is nothing to do withy my matress as I have slept on multiple matress and still got these dots. The dots are pink and can last for about 3 weeks until they fully disappear until a new set appear. Please help! Do you know what this could be?
Hi. As per your case history you are having insect bite dermatitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
