What Do Muscle Spasms And Rashes Under The Right Breast And Armpit Indicate?

I have been having what i thought were muscles spasams--which start under my right breast and follow my rib cage up to below my arm pit and around my back to about the middle of my back. It feels like I ve slept wrong or pulled a muscle. But now I m breaking out in a rash in this same area. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

The muscle spasms under your right breast following your rib cage below your armpit associated with rash break out, are suggestive of herpetic rash.

Please contact your doctor as you might need prescription antivirals.
Please send a photo to me of the affected area, so I can analyze it further.

Topical anti-viral cream is suggested to apply locally.
Do not squeeze or touch the rash as it will make it worst and spread to other parts. Wash your hands well with warm water and soap after medicating the rash area.

Take ibuprofen or paracetamol for the pain.
Wish fast recovery.
