Hi there I am 29 weeks pregnant and for the past couple of days I have had this rash on my neck and chest and breast a few spots on my side, there not terribly itchy some look like welts and some look like dryskin patches? Has anyone else had this or should I be alarmed?
Also how many months is 29 weeks?|||I'd check with your doctor. During my pregnancy I broke out with 2 different rashes, but was told they were just "pregnancy rashes" wich happens to some women.|||see your doctor! it could be serious|||Sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Talk with your Dr.|||probably PUPPS alot of women develope this is late pregnancy theres nothing you can do for it but get some creams or something. but just to be on the safe side you might wanna get it checked out by a dr. just in case its chicken pox or something. you know you can get them in adulthood even if you already had them once.|||You may have PUPPP which is an itchy skin rash that some women do develop in late pregnancy. I, thankfully, never had this one myself in any of my pregnancies but I have known other moms who have experienced it. I've included a source below with more detailed information for you. The good news is that it is harmless, however, if you are concerned it is never a bad thing to mention it to your care provider.
29 weeks is 7 months along, I believe.

Miserable, peeling skin rash?
My friend/roommate had a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic which made him break out all over. That was 6 weeks ago. He has seen a doctor every week who gave him prednisone 10 mg, 3 times daily and percoset for pain.
He is suffering from "burned" nerve endings, chills and sleeplessness. The doctor says it will just take more time to heal.
He is using calamine and other skin preparations. Anyone have suggestion of anything to help him heal faster?|||Wow that is very strange!
I know its probably the last thing you want to do, but possible see another doctor to get a second opinion, like a dermatologist, it can't hurt to know your doing everything right already. I would say ice it but I'm not totally sure how that's gonna interact with his medications.
Honestly, it could also be that you have to wait it out, nerve damaging takes a while to heal.
Thanks for caring so much about your friend!

Please help skin rash or ??????//?
for the past 3 weeks or so i have been devolping these dime sized light red/pink spot on chest, upper arms, neck and stomach. first there was only one and a couple days later like 20 now theres like 30 and have become slightly larger. they feel ruff and dry they are slightly raised above skin. they dont really itch at all. what are they? what should i do? is it serious?|||i know that my aunt had small red like bumps on her hand stomach, face and back. the doctor told her to stay put of the sun because it could turn into skin cancer. i dont think thats your case but i need points|||I found a few things for you that might possibly be your case:
Actinic Keratosis
What To Look For: Scaly spots, about the size of a nickel or dime or even smaller.
Cause: Exposure to UV radiation from sun.
Where On The Body: Chronically sun-exposed skin, i.e., the face, ears, back of hands, upper chest and back, particularly in fair-skinned individuals.
Prevention: Avoid unprotected exposure to the sun. Wear hats, clothing, and a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.
Treatment: Caution — Actinic keratoses are precancerous growths that can progress to skin cancer. They should be removed in a doctor's office by scraping or by freezing with liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, a patient may apply a prescription cream containing 5-fluorouracil (Fluoroplex, Efudex) for about a month.
Also could be:
Tinea versicolor is a fungus infection that commonly affects the skin of young people, especially the chest, back, and upper arms and legs. It doesn't usually affect the face, though. This fungus produces spots that are either lighter than surrounding skin or reddish-brown. There may be just a few spots or many.
What causes tinea versicolor?
Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. This fungus exists in two forms, one of which causes visible spots. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. However, almost all people with this very common condition are perfectly healthy.
Because the tinea versicolor fungus is part of the normal adult skin, this condition is not contagious. It often recurs after treatment, but usually not right away.
When tinea versicolor produces lighter-colored spots, it may take up to several months for the color to even out between skin areas that are affected and not affected. It always eventually does, however. Tinea versicolor does not leave permanent skin discoloration.
Could also be:
# Ringworm of the body — Ringworm of the body, also known as tinea corporis, involves the non-hairy skin of the face, trunk, arms or legs. Of all types of ringworm, tinea corporis is the one that most often produces the classic, ring-shaped patches with wormlike borders. Ringworm of the body occurs in people of all ages and races, with women affected as often as men.
Bottom line, You should see a dermatologyst. He can examin it and give you the proper diagnosis and proper medication.
Good luck... Hope you get better.|||The skin rash page at the source below can help you diagnose that skin rash.

If its not a skin disorder it is an allergic reaction from the dog/food/detergent you washed your clothes in if it has changed/possible soap that you bath with if this has changed, lots of different things.

Skin rash help please?
I have been outside pretty much all weekend and developed a red, bumpy irritation on my arms and on the back of my hands that itches every so often. I don't know if it is heat rash (its been about 75-80 degrees), or something in the grass (we played tackle football alot), or some chemical from the hot tub. I've previously been there alot though and never got anything like this. What could it be and what can help it?|||Were you wearing any type of sunscreen?If yes,then it maybe the CHEMICALS in it.If no,as stated it maybe the CHLORINE,which is a SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL as with all commercial products.Indisgestion meds w/Benedryl may help.Thats what the doc suggested for my daughter when she hived up from chemicals in laundry detergents.But KNOW this isn't a cure.Tracking down the trigger is whats going to stop it from happening again and again. Some interesting info you you should know listed in the sites below.|||it might be poison ivy or sun burn
if it's sun burn put aloe vera gel on your arm
if it's poison ivy so the same and go to the doctor|||well, there are too many possibilities to guess w/out actually seeing the rash. However, the easiest to guess would be a reaction to the sun from a medication your taking. are you on any medications? check w/your local pharmacist to see if it has a warning to avoid direct sunlight. If so contact your doctor. Kayla has the other 2 most likely scenarios. Poison Ivy tends to a liquid drainage to the rash.|||It could be poison ivy!|||Its most likely the clorine from your hot tub drying up your skin. Just try to use an over the counter lotion and you should be fine. Also, It could be grass irritation from the football.|||It sounds like it is an allergic reaction. The best thing would to take some anahystemine. could be allergic reation from the grass or from fertilizer. I don't think hot tub because it seems you would of broke out in a rash all over.|||Some grass can make little microscopic cuts on the skin. They itch like crazy on me. They will heal in a short time if this is what the problem is. They appear as a rash.

Skin rash, plz help!!?
okay well this morning i woke up with this rash, and it was all over my face, back, the back of my legs, and my forearms, my mom said it was form the sun, but then, okay don't laugh, but i got some on my boob, so i figured it couldn't be, then it spread to my ear lobe and all down my neck, i dont know wat this could be, i used no new lotion or anything new, it's like a bunch of tiny red dots in a cluster, but they're all voer my body but only in little clusters, there'll be a cluster of red bumps here, then not here, please help me? what could this be? my mom's gonna bring me to the doctor's if it gets worse, i am jsut worried|||you need to see a doctor...|||could it be hives??
an allergic reaction to something in the air, or something you ate??
id say you should go to the doctor.. just in case.|||1. Check for spider/bed bugs in your bed.
It's been hot. So spiders do get into a house.
2. Ohh! I also sounds like chicken pox.
3. Maybe it's an allergic reaction from something you ate.
Go to a doctor now and don't touch anyone.|||ok i am pretty sure this isn't the right answer: maybe it's chicken pox. but since it's a skin disease go see a dermatologist ( a skin doctor) trust me dermatologists have probably seen 100's of people with the same problem and so shouldn't start freaking out. see a dermatologist.
oh yeah and i should mention that i had a rash ALL over my body, legs, arms, (not my face) but everywhere because i got hives from something i was allergic too. try going to a doctor that specializes in allergies. see if it was an allergic reaction. hope u get better!

Skin rash help!!!?
on thurs day last week i started getting a rash on my tummy now its on my breasts on my back and neck it doesnt itch or hurt its just bothersome! we have not switched detergents or anything like that.
anyone have any ideas of what it could be? or how it may have started? Please help me!|||Its been a week and is spreading...one option, get a doctor to look at it!...;|||more info: http://www.acne-treatment-answ... Report It
|||Shingles? Ask your Dr.|||see a doctor although you could have come into contact with something your allergic to...|||if it is red splotches, with a skin tone circle in the center it is ringworm and can be cleared up with clotrimazole cream. You will need to use the cream consistantly twice daily for 3-4 weeks. You can find ringworm pics on webmd.com.|||Did you eat anything different that day? Were you near a cat? Have you been under alot of stress lately? It sounds more like an allergic reaction to me. Only a doctor can pinpoint the root of your rash. But in the meantime, you can alleviate the itching with Benadryl cream or Calagel. Just make sure you're not allergic to either medication.
