Can anyone tell me what this is?

First person who can (and can give a source) get's 10 points. Yes, I've been to the doctor, this has been here since Feburary.

Update:

I mean the rash, not the stretch marks.

The rash is ALL the same stuff. Some places just look different than others.

Update 2:

I've seen a doctor for it, unforunately, he didn't know what it was, and, Medicaid is not being very helpful on my referral to a dermatologist.

It does itch, and that's on the top of my chest, this is all over my upper back, shoulders, face, and neck. When it get's really inflamed it's painful.

The places don't come to a head, and they don't burst. I've been on about 5 different antibiotics, and steroids, and none of them did a thing.

Update 3:

I forgot to add, we've tried a bunch of creams too. Steroid cream, Anti-fungal cream(which made it worse.) so far, nothing has helped really.

Update 4:

Tomorrow I'm going to a dermatologist, I'll choose whatever he says. =)

    Bactroban ointment (mupirocin) will treat and cure this type infection but this takes a little time and good hygiene. Recurrence is common. Change and wash your sheets and pillowcases regularly.

    Ok, I have been ill with intestinal yeast overgrowth for 5 yrs. It took me over 4 yrs to find a doc that would listen to me, and give me a diagnosis.

    That rash could be caused by too much yeast in your system. It itches too, you said, and it will. This is a strong possibility so, NO MORE antibiotics, NO MORE steroid creams.

    Find a doc in your area that treats this cuz most dont even believe in it. Till then, no sugar, no flour products and nothing with yeast ....like breads and muffins and cake, ect.

    I have studied this stuff intensly and itll make you miserable. Nausea, headaches, pain all over, itching, bowel trouble, allergies, itll screw with your female hormones and thyroid hormones. It screws everything up, so, dont give up, keep going to doctors till one does know what its from. Look up Yeast Syndrome if you are having other symptoms.

    It comes from too many antibiotics or a high sugar diet.

    Hi I am a dermatologist... it looks like acneiform eruption. apply some cream/ gel containing benzoyl peroxide 2.5% ( I would not know the trade name in your country) on each lesion every night. Try for 15 days. Its only because of hormones and I think yo might see increase in number during your periods.

    If thats under your boobs or that crease in your lower butt, it may be small blisters from sweat. you should see the doctor it may be nothing but, it could just be simple blisters from sweat in a non breathing area of the body (like in between toes, under the boobs) where the swaet just absorbs into the skin creatin a fungi which could be blisters, itchy, you can see a simple doctor for it.

    Keratosis Pilaris

    OTC Lac-Hydrin can clear this up, and that would explain why everything else isn't touching those....

    I have similiar, but they are confined to my arms..... I treat them with the lotion, and no more redness.

    Source(s): Doc to be 8 months and counting.
