Itchy chest/Spots on chest...

4 Replies

Hello,

Am I the only person who suffers with an itchy spotty chest when their asthma is bad? I seem to notice it starts to itch, and then obviously goes red when I'm ill. Especially when it's about to rain/raining. I've never had problems with spots on my chest .. even through my teenage years (i'm now 20), and suddenly they have appeared from nowhere. I've been on steroids for the last 2 months, as well as a few doses of antibiotics. Are the steriods to blame? Or is it just my asthma? Does anyone else have this problem?

Thank you!

Nat

Yes, me too! I tend to think its from that area being hot. I dont always get this - maybe depends on severity of infection and heat - no idea but its odd that the bit that is affected inside shows outside too. As if inside wasn't enough to contend with.

i get it whenever i am around fish... which I am allergic to!

Thank you everyone! Just good to know i'm not the only person really! I find using a body scrub and moisturising has actually helped.
