Dermatology - Non-itch, non-painful red pimple like spots on torso

    
Asked by preston145 (Female; 32; USA; Nothing significant, no chronic problems, ex smoker, overweight, delivery by c-section two years ago. ; Relevant drugs:No medications ) on Sun 07, Sep 2008 10:11am

I have a pimple like spots on my torso. I just woke up with them two days ago. I initially had about 15 spots around my torso and buttocks, now every day I have a few more. They seem confined around my torso but I have new ones on my arm, chest and thigh. They don't itch, the ones that get rubbed by clothing seem to swell, get sensitive and appear larger. They are not painful unless I happen to rub over one too hard and then it feels like I have scratched a big, sore pimple. I am married 32 year old female, no chronic problems, no STDS. My daughter, 2 years old, has them also, but not nearly as many as me. They dont seem to itch her either and every day there are one or two more on her. Neither of us have a fever or feel ill in any way. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Allergy can cause pimple like red rashes on the body. It is probably related to something that you ate recently. Try and keep a log of what all you are eating. I would also suggest you to get them checked out by a dermatologist. Take care!

Red pimples on the torso can be due to folliculitis, heat rash, sweat dermatitis or cysts. If they are itchy then viral rash and scabies should be ruled out. Wear cotton clothes and apply some calamine lotion.
