What does red skin rash after body hair removal indicate?
Patient: Hi,    I'm a 22 year old male. I have alot of body hair and I recently buzzed all the hair off my chest. It has grown back over a cm in length and now I find that I am getting some sort of rash made up of red spots no more than a cm in diameter. I have no other symptoms that I can place. Doctor: Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagicI will keep a possibility of seborrheic dermatitis. It usually presents as dry, scaly, itchy and red patches.If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily for the patches.An oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily would provide you symptomatic relief from itching.Topical steroids are prescription medicines. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis and appropriate treatmentRegards
