Small Raised Red Bumps Skin Rash
by Anonymous
I play rugby professionally which requires me to train daily. After I train/play a rash develops on my torso, under armpits, around the neck, and on my forehead. The rash on my forehead seems to come as a result of the protective headgear that I wear and the rash on my body only appears to be in places where the skin has been rubbing against training/playing clothing. I have tried barrier creams like Sudocrem but none seem to fully do the job. I don't know if it is some sort of heat rash, which is aggravated by the rubbing against clothing materials. The rash itself is small raised red bumps which are very itchy. The rash on my forhead, if scratched, will develop into a state of producing 'pus', suggesting that it may be getting infected. This problem is at its worst in the wet, cold winter months.
Any help would be really appreciated. It is causing me so much distress and uncomfortableness.
