      I have it on both shoulders and upper back where I am freckly, does itch sometimes.

      I had a lung abscess 9 months ago and to date I still feel fagtie and arm pit and upper body ache. Loads and loads of bloods say I'm fine and full body scan.

      They think it's post infection fatgie but the clear rash is annoying me

      well it could be a s a result of the antibiotics and any other drugs you were given. It could be even fungal. You could try using a dandruff shampoo on your shoulders, working it in well with a very soft brush and then rinsing thoroughly. When dry massage some Cerave body cream into the areas. If it becomes worse then obviously stop. Have you seen a dermatologist?

      I will try the advice I have seen a nhs dermatologist and private.

      The NHS dermatologist couldn't speak any English and had a person in there. Didn't ask about my history and said my arms were red because of sunburn. The person before me complained saying worse experience they have ever had.

      Private dermatologist seen me for 10 minutes as I didn't know they had changed the time. I wrote out a history which oh his report he basically copied. said I had keratosis pilaris on arms and prominent hair follicles

      dermatologist probably the consultant going

      Keratosis Pilaris was one of my thoughts as well. The treatment I explained may be of help .
