Q: Red spots on arms and chest

Alright, I've been searching around these forums for a similar skin problem as mine,but everytime i find one close in similarity there is a difference i dont got. ok, these spots are slightly raised like u can run ur fingers down your arm and feel them slightly. They are only appearing on my Arms,chest,stomach,shoulders and back. None on my legs,butt,or face whatsoever. Ive had them for almost 6 months now and they slightly fade then reappear noticably again. I first noticed them on my arms not so bad then as days passed spread to chest and back. They rarely get itchy and get sort of flakey when scratched. The sizes are very various, from smaller than a pencil eraser size to alittle bigger than a quarter size. Im guessing that they merge into a big patch if they appear close together. The real problem with them is their appearance to others which is very noticeable. I would take a picture and post it but my camera isnt working properly at the moment. I noticed that high temperature turn them brighter red? not sure just on a few occasions. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, and any changes on symptoms ill be sure to post them. Thanks

It might be the Chlorine in your water, read my testimonial at Chlorinefreeshower.INFO.

I dont think its the chlorine in the water after i shower, actually after a shower they fade abit, then a few hours after reappear again.
