What causes recurring itchy rash on chest?
Patient: I have this rash that comes and goes for the past year on my chest and there are times it s worse then others. I itch at it most of the time. I have not changed anything in my daily life. Have any suggestions? I do not currently have allergies either. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  As per your description it seems like something called “seborrhic dermatitis”. It’s a kind of fungal infection and can be cured with proper treatment. As of now apply topical anti-fungals like Clotrimazole over the affected area and keep the area dry and clean. Oral anti-fungals like Fluoconazole also may be needed. In case of dandruff, treat dandruff first. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
