20/F and had this strange rash between my neck and stomach for about three weeks now. Big and small red spots that only tend to itch first thing or late at night. It is impossible trying to get a doc's appointment these days unless your left foot is dropping off and I don't know what else to do as I do not class it as an emergency thing, more of a vanity/curious thing.
Anyone got any ideas as to what is it and how can I get rid of it?
There are any number of things that can cause a rash. Laundry detergent is a big cause. Have you switched detergents recently? New clothing will sometimes be the culprit, especially new clothing manufactured overseas. new soap, new body wash, new body powder, the list goes on and on.
Most rashes are just plain contact dermatitis, others are caused by stress or possibly something you are allergic to. A persistent rash needs to be seen by a doctor. If you cannot see your family doctor I suggest you go to one of the walk in clinics that are available. Many will arrange to see patients by appointment.
Patient First and Right Time Medical care are two of the biggest companies offering walk in service. One or both probably have a location that are convenient to you. Both are usually open as late as between ten PM and midnight.
Some of the larger pharmacy chains such as CVS and Target Pharmacies have Nurse Practitioners' available to see Patients.
Either of these options should be able to identify the type of rash you have and offer treatment. Both are available with and without appointment. Appointments are available on a same day basis.
