Red, Raised Rash that itches on stomach just below belly button!?


Question:
So I have this rash on my stomach that I have had for about 3 months now. It is red, raised, and itches sometime extremely bad. Sometimes it gets really scaly and dried up, any ideas on what it could be??

Answers:
It could be either fungal or excema. They both are red, can last a long time, and very itchy. But you need to know exactly what it is, because they are treated differently. You can get over-the-counter meds for either.

See your doctor if you can. If you can't get to your doctor, or can't afford to see one, try asking the pharmacist at your local pharmacy. They are pretty knowledgeable about these too.
Do u wear belts often? I had this exact same thing and after about 6 monthes i figured out that i was allergic to the fake metal on my belt. There is a cream u can can from the doctor but the only thing that completely stopped mine was to stop wearing belts...
Sounds like a hea rash. your stomach actually can get very hot inthe humid weather we are having, I am not a doctor but if it itches that bad take some benadryl. Depending on how old you are ask your parents if you are under 18 t take the benadryl try and keep your stomach cool cool compreses.. Although if you have been in th sun alot and that has been exposed it can be sun poison.. So be careful and cover that area while in the sun..
