Super Fitness Health BlogRash Chest; Itchy, Red, Annoying & Embarrassing!
If you live in a place where weather patterns can change easily you may notice that your skin has a knack for getting “rash chest”. This is a term used when you you have a red rash on your chest that could be itchy. The thing you should be aware of is that your skin is a very complex organ and it has systems designed to protect it from harm.
When you expose the skin on your chest to large amounts of friction or too much sunlight, and . . . tanning salons fall into this category, then the skin on your chest will begin to turn red and a ‘rash chest‘ will begin to form.
This reaction is perfectly normal as your body is sending antibodies to investigate for infection. The most common cause of ‘rash chest’ is from some irritant, which can be in the form of a chemical burn, especially if you use lots of products. Another cause of rash chest is from physical aggravation such as friction burn and both types can be very painful.
Whenever you have any sort of rash on your body it is a good idea to visit a doctor to make sure that the rash is not a sign of something much more serious. If the doctor tells you that it is heat rash or rash chest he/she may also prescribe some ointments to alleviate the discomfort.

The skin tells you there is a problem by turning red and the sensitivity of the affected area is heightened. If your doctor tells you it is nothing serious then you will be able to find a remedy for your rash chest relatively easily.
It really depends on how severe the rash is and if you are in great discomfort. If you do not want a prescription from your healthcare professional then you’ll need to figure out how to get the rash to disappear on its own.
Your doctor could prescribe a topical ointment for your rash chest. You will need something to reduce the irritation or calm your skins reaction to the irritant. This can be accomplished by using something with an anti inflammatory element like cortisone or Aloe Vera.
If you are not sure how it got there in the first place you may want to break out your CSI skills and figure out what caused it. Rash chest is usually caused 24 to 48 hours before you actually see it on the skin.
By using the process of elimination you can figure out what the culprit was that caused your discomfort. If you are still unable to figure out what is causing your rash chest it might be a great idea to speak with a dermatologist, as they are skin specialists and can advise you on what the solution to this cosmetically unappealing rash may be.
Do not ever put chemicals on your chest without being fully aware of what they can do, it’s too late once you damage your skin and need to find a cure. Like the old adage; an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.
And . . . as an added bonus, we are able to clear up your rash should you have Pityriasis Rosea.
