red colour pimples on body - #12647

Dev

I am really concerned about these weird red colour pimples on my body that showed up a couple weeks ago. At first, I thought maybe it was just an allergic reaction to something—like, I tried a new laundry detergent or maybe something in my skin care routine? But they seem to be multiplying and it’s super frustrating! They started on my arms and now I see them on my chest and back too. I went to the doc, and they said it could be a skin allergy, but they didn’t really run any tests or anything. Just told me to keep an eye on it. But how long should I wait? The red colour of these pimples really freaks me out. It’s not itchy or anything, just there looking all red and angry and it's making me self conscious. I thought it might be acne but on my body? Is that even a thing? I’ve never had this before and it kinda feels like they might be getting worse. Has anyone else dealt with red colour pimples on body? What did you do? Did any creams help? Should I try an allergy test or just sit tight? I feel lost and I really don’t want this to spread more!

Doctors' responses

Seeing these red pimples can definitely be disconcerting, especially when they seem to be spreading. First thing we need to consider is whether these could be related to anything new you’ve introduced around the time they appeared—like you mentioned, perhaps a detergent or skin product. Skin reactions often don’t limit themselves to one area and can spread or multiply if the irritant is still present. If the red spots are not itchy, painful, or accompanied by fever or other systemic signs, it’s less likely to be an acute allergic reaction or infection—but that doesn’t rule them out. This might indeed be a case of folliculitis, which is a common condition that appears like acne and can affect the body. Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles become inflamed, often due to bacterial or fungal infections. For mild cases, it’s often self-limiting. Topical antibacterial or antifungal treatments might be helpful—an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide or clotrimazole, for instance, could be tried to see if there is improvement. If these bumps don’t respond to that within a week or so, or if they worsen (especially becoming painful, itchy, or spreading rapidly), it’s prudent to follow up with a dermatologist. Since they didn’t run specific tests, they might have considered it not urgent, but sometimes a second opinion could provide peace of mind. In cases where these continue to spread, especially if new symptoms arise, getting a thorough evaluation with potential cultures or a biopsy can definitively narrow down causes like bacterial, fungal, or inflammatory conditions other than a straightforward allergic reaction. Meanwhile, focus on using gentle, hypoallergenic products for skin and laundry to minimize further irritation. At this point, an allergy test might be premature unless there are strong indicators pointing towards a specific allergen. Keep monitoring for any changes in size, shape, or symptomatology, and don’t hesitate to reach out for further evaluation if your instincts tell you something more complex might be going on.
