Itchy Rashes Appear On My Chest And Back.what Are They And How Do I Make Them Go by kobarney(op): 4:14pm On Sep 04, 2017
For a while these stuff has been appearing on my chest, then spreading just around the areas where my shirt covers.. I'm not a dirty person so I can't really say for sure that dirty shirts caused this. They itch me when I'm hot sometimes. Please any solution? Both local and Orthodox. Thanks[b][/b] huh

Looks like heat rashes. Use a prickly heat powder.

I can't really point it, I moved off k in my 400 and 500 level, off k there's a reservoir we use most times when no water in the tank. It kinda began when I went off k sha. Body spray made them itch me too.

then it is water you are reacting to, happened to me. it will get worst if you don't do something about it.


buy dettol and always bath with it, stop rubbing cream, buy a medicated soap and start using. Go to chemist and buy romcin it's a tube cream which you will apply to the affected place.

it will take months before your spots will clear but the itch should subside

ignore the dude that says you should buy funbact A that is a bleaching cream and won't do you any good

kobarney it is not heat rashes. heat rashes don't itch neither do they stay long and it doesn't look like heat rashes

I buy your idea. It lessens when I go for hols. Fumbact A lightens my skin but the spots remain. I should not rub cream? shocked I'm used to that o even at night. I have met a chemist before, she gave me ketokonazone .. Tube cream and drug..finished both but still there or is it a continuous medication?

Man I think you should see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis, because I would have thought it was eczema. However if you're cash-strapped you could at least try a pharmacist.

There's a very effective tubed cream called Beytucen. You could try it.

it is a continous medication but don't use those again since the itching hasn't stopped. Get romcin and a medicated soap, use it for two months, your spots will clear off, it just takes time

Use apple cider vinegar (with mother). 1-1 mix equal parts with water (a capful will do). Use a cotton swab, dip in it and swab the affected area. Leave for thirty minutes and rinse off. Use twice a day for 3-5 days.

Well I'm back guys.. I used the acene away cream and drank the drugs. The rash seem to fade away although the spots are slowly fading. I'm home now though and the clearing process is way faster. Also I was told to apply hydraulic oil on them.. Funny but works like magic.

Please boss has it cleared totally.

Sadly no. I fit to figure it spreads slowly around where my shirt covers. It itches when I sweat the most. I’m very much tired. I spent quite a lot trying different methods then and gave up. I’m about to try again. Someone recommended aquasolf but I think I may need to do a blood test.

Change your creme or avoid any cream for the time being
Re: Itchy Rashes Appear On My Chest And Back.what Are They And How Do I Make Them Go by kobarney(op): 2:33pm On Jun 04, 2024
I noticed it. I avoided mostly. When I rub and I swear or it it itches the most and looks like it spreads.

Same this as mine for months I don’t know how to go about it. sad

Re: Itchy Rashes Appear On My Chest And Back.what Are They And How Do I Make Them Go by kobarney(op): 2:29pm On Sep 08
Well.. here is what I learned.

First. It may be naturally on the skin but certain conditions makes it show up in excess such as this.

Second. It has nothing to do with being dirty, I bathe a lot and that isn't the case.

Third. Avoid keeping the skin overly oily or wet. For me, I try not to sweat as much and I realise I sweat when I rub body lotions. Days I fo so and go to work I return with them inflammation (slightly swollen and itch) making the skin rouch and unpleasant.. when I bathe and don't cream, after say 2 days it fades a way almost like it was never there.

The was a time I was out of work and indoors for abiut a week, no excessive sweating, no lotion after bath and I didn't get an itch or a rash nor a spot. Over time as I worked, it began reappearing.

Note. I apply "Ketoral" cream and it is the only thing that seem to work.

Less sweat,. Less cream, clean body.. I guess thats all I know for now.

Itchy rashes on chest and back are common, but they can come from several different causes, so it's hard to say for certain without seeing it. Some of the most common possibilities in Nigerian weather/conditions:

Heat rash (prickly heat) — Small, itchy bumps from sweat trapped in blocked pores, very common with our heat and humidity, especially if you're wearing tight or non-breathable clothing. Usually clears on its own once you stay cool, wear loose cotton clothes, and keep the area dry.

Fungal infection (like tinea/ringworm) — Often shows up as itchy, sometimes ring-shaped or patchy areas that can spread. Common in humid climates and made worse by sweat and tight clothing. This usually needs an antifungal cream, not just moisturizer.

Folliculitis — Itchy, sometimes small pimple-like bumps around hair follicles, often from sweat, friction, or shaving/waxing irritation trapping bacteria in the follicles.

Allergic reaction / contact dermatitis — If you recently changed soap, detergent, fabric, or started a new product, it's worth checking if the rash lines up with that.

Scabies or another contagious skin condition — If it's intensely itchy (especially at night) and other people in your household are also getting rashes, this is worth ruling out with a doctor, since it needs specific treatment.

What I'd suggest:

Don't scratch — it can break the skin and lead to infection.

Wear loose, breathable clothing and change out of sweaty clothes quickly.

Avoid switching soaps/products until you know the cause, since trial and error can make it worse.

If it's spreading, oozing, very painful, or not improving after a few days, please see a doctor or dermatologist — a proper look (sometimes even a simple skin scraping) is the only reliable way to know exactly what it is and get the right treatment, since a wrong home remedy can make some of these worse.

Hope it clears up soon — how long has it been going on?
