    if they are red spots and not lumps or anything, and you find them on places other then your breasts then I would say you may have just gotten a rash or allergic reaction to something in those sensitive areas. However, I would contact a help line nurse and ask a professional just in case if you continue to worry about it and problem does not go away.

    If you have started any new medications recently at all, I would be especially concerned and call any doctor or his nurse who prescribed them and let them know. How long has this been going on? Red patches like dry skin or like really red or raised? Curious, thought I am certainly no doctor. Just had an allergic reaction to meds once that was exceptionally server and it nearly did me in literally. Not to freak you out, just adding be cautious and if nothing else find a friend of a friend who is a nurse, a healthline, anything but ask questions and be specific. GOOD LUCK!!!

    It does sound like it could be an allergic reaction. Have you changed washing powder or something?
    Maybe you could show your pharmacist and they'd have an idea of what it is.

    It sounds like it could be a allergic reaction to something. Have you started using any new products. It can be anything from deodarant, soap, lotion, etc. Try to think what you are doing that is different in your routine and this will probably explain what you are reacting to.

    Okay, dont panic.

    Does it look like your skin is peeling, or is it red, and raised? Are they itchy?

    it sounds like an allergic reaction, try putting benadryl cream on the spots.

    i have something similar. does it look kind of dry, almost flakey? i know diaper cream with zinc works well, just put a thin layer on before bed, it should start to clear up in about a week.
    let me know if this helps you.
    Smile...it's not so bad.

    Generally, skin conditions are rarely fatal...so hopefully that eases your mind a bit. I would hesitate to make a diagnosis over the web b/c symptoms may appear similar but actually have different causes. Since things are not getting better, I really think you should see a doctor. Since you don't have insurance, maybe you can go look up free clinics in your area.

    Honestly In my opinion it sounds like a fungus dont worry its treatable, and dont be freaked out many people go through the same thing. I know this may sound crazy but try some Lotrimin Cream Its an Antifungal for Athletes foot. But if it is a fungus it will get rid of it and theres no harm in trying it. Just keep applying it day and night till it goes away.
