I dont know if its nerves but on Thursday I woke up with something that looks like prickly heat on my chest (the neck area). It got a little worse the next day and now its just steady ever since. I didnt eat anything different, I havent washed my sheets, etc. Something tells me its nerves since today is 39 days til the wedding and I am getting nervous! What do you think it could be? My mom suggested benadryl but I dont know...if it keeps up for another few days I will break down and buy it. What if this happens the day of the wedding??!?????!

Did u wear anything different on Thursday? Were you in a place that was too hot, that could of reacted with whatever you were wearing?
OR...
did you go to sleep the night before with a necklace or anything on? I've broken out many times for leaving stuff around my neck, and it spreads to my chest.
Don't scratch it....calamine lotion may do the trick to get the red out and take the itchiness out.

Its weird cause its not that red....its mostly flesh colored but a little pink....I didnt do anything different on Thursday than I normally do! And I always wear my same necklace to bed everyday. Maybe I am just a freak!
Oh and its not itchy either!

i dont know, but if you think it is nerves, you may need to work on calming down. Easier said than done, huh? If you are worried you will break out I would make sure you have some makeup you can coverup with that day just in case.

Benadryl makes a cream...try using that, it may help clear up the bumps. (I've gotten a similar rash and this has always helped me.)

To be on the safe side, why dont you have a dermatologist take a look at it. She'll be able to tell you what it is and give you something in case something happens 'the day of'

Yeah I think I will pick it up tomorrow....thanks! Do you know why you got the rash?
Hmmm it could be nerves but I would try the Benadryl cream too. Strange that they arent itchy though. Try to relax somehow...

One time it was because I was starting a new job and my nerves were shot...another time, I had a reaction to shellfish. If that cream doesn't work, I would go to a dermatologist just to be on the safe side.

I'd call your dermatologist and ask, they should have some idea and if they don't, it's best to go in for an appointment.

I would take a Benadryl pill. Keep in mind it will make you a little drowsy. I've had that from nerves and it usually ends up on the chest. Annoying but destressing will help. The doc is not a bad idea, but there's not a lot you can do if it's stress. Good luck and go get a massage to calm down.

Def take the Benadryl! It can only help!! It has happened to me before...give it a few days, then see a dermatologist.
