Q: itchy red blotches on skin
asked by: pinktoes on June 2nd, 2009

for about two years i have been getting these big red blotches on my stomache, chest and back and sometimes my neck everytime i would sweat, take a shower or any other moisture in contact with my skin. They apear in random spots every time and They really itch. i did go to a doctor once but she gave me tiny pills that didnt help and she didnt answer my questions clearly. What are these? are they possibly an alergy from moisture?

It's possible that it's from the chlorine in your shower. I had a similar problem and after a week with the chlorine filter on my shower I could sweat without it burning and itching and leaving big red blotches. After just two days I quit getting the red spots from the shower so I think the chlorine builds up in our system and once it's gone you will be very happy. Try a shower filter, I prefer the vitamin C shower filter because it's all natural and the vitamin C is also good for our skin. I wrote a testimonial about what the chlorine does to us at chlorinefreeshower.info. Good Luck

it could be a fungal infection or rash. can be caused by sweat or public swimming pools. im no expert but if its a fungal rash usually the dr can perscribe cream for it and it goes away in no time.

maybee c another doctor some are better than others!
