Dermatitis, psoriasis or heat rash??

by Symptom Advice on January 24, 2011

I have been getting spots on my chest and also around the back of my neck and wondering if someone can diagnose. they are small and red and sometimes contain pus. Even though I sometimes feel hot, I do not sweat, but even in winter I do not really feel the cold.
Don't know why, but seems to have become more regular since I stopped smoking a year ago, but that may be just a coincidence.
Have checked out some health websites and most common similar symptoms are psoriasis but without any scaly skin.
Only serious replies please, no time wasters or point scorers.

Make an appointment to see your doctor and ask to be referred to a Dermatologist. It could be a dermatitis, psoriasis like you said or a form of ezcema.

I have psoriasis and the pus which you mention makes me think it's Not that.
Go see your doctor.

Could be signs of a vitamin deficiency or one of many other medical conditions-even adult Acne. I have seborrhoeic dermatitis and eczema and it isn't either of those. Best to check with your doc as you know.
