What is a rash all over your stomach and lower breasts that has been there for 5 days that does not itch but looks terrible?

Answer 1

This actually sounds like a mild case of yeast infection. Yes, I know you think that sounds funny considering the fact that yeast infections normally happen around the genital area. But that is not the only area that yeast can be released. Yeast infections are mostly caused by anything that your body isn't used to I.E. increased heat or moisture...this in terms causes bacteria in the skin. There are many ways you can try to eliminate the problem else it will keep coming back. First of all I would recommend using a creme specially made for yeast infections. Might I suggest Metronidazole. You have to see a doctor for a script but it works. After it has cleared up, you might try changing the type of clothing you wear. Some clothes that are too tight tend to lock in moisture when you get hot and your body starts to sweat. Try wearing loose fitting clothing and I can almost guarantee it will never come back. Also, you could try using any type of moisture blocker such as baby powder or talc which in terms eliminates moisture and keeps you dry.

Fungal infection?My husband had a rash something like this, on his chest, back, and neck. He was almost not aware of it because it didn't itch and it was flat and not brightly colored. It turned out to be a kind of fungal infection. The doctor told him what kind of cream to get and he applied it once or twice a day, and the rash went away. So you need to see a doctor--you might not even need a dermatologist, though.
