Child, Male, Chest (Edit search)
The following are images of skin conditions found on the chest area in children. The chest is a broad area that can become red and splotchy after a viral infection such as fifth disease. The skin on the chest can also harbor dry, red patches caused by a fungal infection (ringworm) or a yeast infection (tinea versicolor). Itchy bumps called hives may appear after exposure to an allergen. Moles, freckles, and thick scars called keloids can be present on the chest as well. The photos below contain more information about when to seek medical care as well as treatment your physician might prescribe for these rashes found on the chest.
