Small Red Spots On Torso And Arms Posted: 09-18-05 22:26pm
I was in the shower earlier and I noticed
my chest and stomach was covered in small
red spots but I quickly forgot about it.
Later I was watching tv in a t-shirt and I
noticed my arms were covered in small red
spots as well. I took my t-shirt off and
found most of my torso was covered in
small red spots. I think they might have
been there yesterday as well but they’ve
definitely only appeared recently.
I haven’t changed washing powder, shower
gel or anything and i’ve never had any
problems with allergies.
I tried to take a picture of my arms but
the camera is fairly dreadful and I
couldn’t get a decent shot where they
were particularly visible.
Here’s one of each arm to give you an
idea. After clicking on the link change
the capital "j" in "jpg" to lowr case to
get the pricture to load. For some
reason this form keeps chaning it to a
captial:
it doesn’t look like much and i’d
probably just ignore it but I haven’t
been feeling too great lately (mild pains
in the chest and shoulders) so I thought I
best ask if I should be concerned in case
they’re related. So should I be worried
about this or if I should just ignore it
and see if it clears up?
Thanks for the advice
(grrrr, what's the problem with letter
cases here? It's changing lowercase
letters into uppercase and uppercase
letters into lowercase) :?:

I can' t see your pictures but what you
are describing sounds exactly like what I
have going one except that they are also
all down my back...I have no idea what it
is but I am going to see the doctor
tomorrow....I will let you know what I
find out.

Thanks for the reply. I'd be interested
to know what the doctor says.
It's actually spread to all over my body
now including my legs. I'm going to give
it another week and if it hasn't clearly
up i'll have to go and see the doctor
myself.
I work from home so it's very rare that I
go out, so the only way I can think that
i've caught it is an insect bite I got
just before it appeared.

Well the doctor told me mine was a viral
infection which is spread from person to
person.....It has been going around where
I live and I work in the pharmacy so go
figure hehe...It started with what I
thought was a sinus infection or
something..I had real bad head congestion,
runny nose, sinus drainage etc. It took
about three days or so for that to go away
then I noticed the little red bumps
appearing which continued to
spread..Apparently the whole ordeal was a
viral infection and it ends with this rash
I have. There wasn't anything they could
give me for it except some steroids to
help it clear up faster ( I passed on
that). She said to just take benadryl
for the itching and it would go away on
its own. Oh well...
