Question Details
I have a irritating, flaky like rash across my chest that stretches from shoulder to shoulder. It's not really a big deal unless I don't put lotion on after I take a shower. Everytime I take a shower then dry off without applying lotion, a few mins later this rash appears and it feels like my skin is stretching or tearing. The rash is usually a shade darker than my complexion unless I apply lotion, then it blends in with my complexion (making it not noticable as much). I was wondering could this be excema and how serious is excema? But once again, this rash isn't really a big deal. I've had it since I started puberty ( 7 years ago).

Best Answer
Its possible it could be eczema. You should go see a doctor who will provide you a cream/ointment if it is eczema. For now the most important thing you can do is NOT scratch, it will make it worse. If you have a problem scratching wear cotton gloves, or don;t use your nails to scratch , maybe jsut hte back of your hand or fingertips.
