Q: unexplained rash on back?

On Thursday morning i woke up with a big red patch on my back. thinking it was just because iv slept funny i ignored it, however it is now sunday and its just getting worse! its like a painful, non-itchy rash which sits just underneigh my bra strap.

theres not really spots there, just red raw, dry skin.. im 16 and have never had it before, it also hasnt spread to any other body parts..

Hello there

 

Sorry it has taken some time to get back to you.  I am wondering if it is an irritation caused by your bra strap.  This can definitely happen.  Is this patch getting any better by now?  Have you put any moisturizer on this area to help soften it?

 

Let us know if this is getting any better for you.
