What Causes Sudden Rashes On The Upper Chest Radiating Towards The Throat And Neck Area?
I just had a rash appear spontaneously on my upper chest between sternum and clavicle, extending up my throat and one side of my neck. It looks like urticaria, raised, ovoid bumps but red between as well. It does not itch. Had a sore throat on waking in the morning. No exceptional food. No topical lotions or the like. I was about to step into the shower when I noticed, but had not yet applied any soap. The redness is fading slightly but the skin remains bumpy about 45 minutes since I first noticed.
