I have these weird red splotches on my back, chest & stomach.

[Rainbowreflect]

They itch, they are different sizes & I've never had anything like them before. They are not bites or bumps & they are uneven shaped.
Anyone have any ideas on what they might be?

4. Sounds like hives

Have you changed laundry detergent or bath soap/gel lately? Have you been handling any chemicals you haven't used before like insecticide or plant fungicide or anything?

Something like that happened to me a couple of years ago. I attributed it to a drug I had to apply to my dog's skin. It took a few days to fade away.

5. Allergic reaction, probably.

You don't have them on your face? Have you changed your laundry soap recently? Fabric Softener? Body soap? Those things can all give you a rash.

Take Benadryl if the itching gets to be annoying. Call your Doc if they aren't gone in a day or two or if you feel "wheezy" or have tightness in your chest and throat.

This too shall pass, I'd bet.
