Xenolan answered Monday July 24 2006, 12:43 am: Have you taken any sort of prescription medication lately? I have a mild allergy to Sulfa drugs, and they caused exactly that kind of reaction. The bumps were very small and very numerous. Also consider whether any other environmental factors have changed for you lately that could be causing an allergic reaction. Did you get a cat? Did you switch laundry detergents?
ThugGirl041790 answered Monday July 24 2006, 12:40 am: It could be a few things..
-Acne which you can buy some cream for that..
-If you sweat in that area it could be that too && cause a rash from sweating..
You just could wash it soon as your done sweating so it doesn`t make a rash && put lotion on it..

hispanica answered Monday July 24 2006, 12:28 am: Ah, it's most likely a rash. Maybe a sweat rash? Just put some powder on it, it should help. But if you don't have any, no worries, it should go away soon. :] [ hispanica's advice column | Ask hispanica A Question ]

For OTC (over-the-counter), try Aloe Vera (which cools and soothes skin), Hydrocortisone (for any itching or scratching), or for pimples use Nature's Cure all over body medicine.
babiigirl answered Monday July 24 2006, 12:22 am: You didnt describe what these litttle red bumps look like. Id guess that they are sweat bumps. When you put a bra on in the morning put some baby power in your bra so your chest doesnt sweat as much.
FrEe2bMe answered Monday July 24 2006, 12:19 am: Well, what you described could be anything from a small rash, ants bites, or chest acne. Any are possible, and common. If it's ant bites it'll clear up on it's own, but you can put some over the counter cream on it to soothe the itching (if there is any). If it's a rash you probably want to see a dermatologist. Same with the ance. There are tons and tons of percription creams to treat it. It's hard to say which is best for your case, so seeing a doctor (if it doesn't clear up shortly) would be in your best interest. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
