i have these little red dots on my arms,chest,and legs. they look like ant bites or mosquitoe bites. some of them itch and some don't.what are they? I think they may be razor burns but I never shave my chest. I've been having them for couple weeks now.

Hi,

I have the same thing. I've had mine foravout 2 months. At 1st I thought that they were pimples but they are not. I have 1 on my face, on back, and 1 arm. A co-worker read about getting outbreaks with stress?? Is this a possibility?

Could you be having an allergic reaction to something? Maybe your laundry detergent or fabric softener? I used the same fabric softener for years and then all of a sudden my husband developed an allergy to it. The rash was mostly on his chest and upper arms.
