On my chest area - just above my boobs, some little red spots that stick up above the skin surface have appeared. I thought it was a rash at first, but it is actually about ten individual spots that look really unattractive whenever I wear a slightly low cut top. Does anyone now what they are :confused: or how I can get rid of them :confused:?? Please help!

From your description, it sounds like hives or chest Pityriasis Rosea. Hives appears as red, raised bumps or patches on your arms and chest or other parts of the body usually as an allergic reaction from eating certain foods, heat or taking certain medicines. It can last few a hours or days, even weeks. Hives can be treated and controlled antihistamine treatments. Pityriasis rosea is a common pink-red rash that appears in smaller pots on the neck, chest, stomach, back, arms and legs. This rash often requires no treatment and it will gradually fade away by itself. However, it can be treated with anti-itch medications, oral antihistamines lotions and steroid creams. I recommend that you consult a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment options.

I have something like that and I showed my gyno. She said that it is just a spot where the blood vessel busted (similar to a bruise). She said it is fine and there's not much to do about them. They go away and come back all the time.
