What Causes Red Itchy Rashes On The Body?

I am 40 yr old woman.2weeks ago I had a running nose a bit of a sore throat and 2 days later my nose was fine and my rash started on my breast and both of my sides ...I went to the Dr. and she said looking from a distance that it was part of the cold virus.....now 2 weeks into it the rash is on my lower back legs arms tops of my hands and feet....it is kinda itchy ..it's hard to tell if it is itchy when they appear or when they are healing. There are not any on my butt cheeks or my back. The red spots (to me) look like chicken pox. They are flat and red then puff up like a pimple and then burst and crust over........I have a Dr. appt. with my family Dr. in 10 days.....

Hello,

According to your complaints it doesn’t seem to be chicken pox. It could be either an eczematous rash or pityriasis lichenoids chronica.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
