What could this rash be?
My friend currently has an itchy rash on her chest and one small patch on her foot. The rash tends to be little raised area's of skin, about 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter. She has had the patch on her foot for about a week and the patches on her breasts showed up only about a day ago. I'm just wondering if there are STD's that appear on the breasts, or if this is more likely a case of hives or poison oak.

Probably just Excema: http://parenting.allinfoabout.com/glossary/excema.html
I have never heard of a breast related STD.

It could also be contact dermatitis....basically the skin coming into contact with some allergen. This happens to me sometimes, because I'm allergic to alot of lotions, etc.

I wouldent worry too much, I just cover with cream given to me by my docand its gone in a few days

Tell her to think back about what she's touched or been exposed to the previous few days. New laundry detergent? Perfume? Even new clothes? Soap? Anything like that can sometimes cause a rash. Plus, it's summer and if she was just outside a lot and sweating it might be a bit of heat rash. She can try putting some hydrocortisone on it, which is available OTC and if that doesn't clear it up in a few days she may want to go to the doctor. The only STD that has a rash at all tends to be syphilis and that generally is worst on the palms and soles, but it can show up elsewhere too.
