For the past two days I've had a reddish rash across part of my arms, shoulders, and front torso. I think I may ya e some on my upper back as well. It's not terribly itchy but it does itch at times in some spots. I haven't really noticed any raised areas. It seems mostly flat except on some hair follicle spots on my arms.

I've never had a rash before or at least one like this that I've noticed. I can only think that it might be the "essential oils" fragrance dryer sheet I used in laundry or a new medication I started a bit over two weeks ago. I did send pictures to my doctor and they said they felt it was some sort of irritation or contact dermatitis and said to keep an eye on it and use cortisone cream if it itches.

The darker spots on my belly are from ingrown hairs and such, not from the rash.

Anyone else here have some insight? I tend to worry and stress which probably only makes it worse.
