hi, i am a 32 year old female. i noticed some red discoloured patches all over my breasts and upper back last week. i dont know how long it has been there but since i was just recovering from typhoid , I assumed it was a reaction to the drugs. the patches are still there and am getting worried. sometimes i also experience a tingling in my breasts and nipples. Could it be cancer?
Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorTyphoid is associated with faint red colored patches called rose spots. They are 2-4 mm in diameter. They occur in groups of 5-10 and are seen on days 7-12 after getting the infection. They occur as a result of bacteria being carried to the skin. These spots are common on lower chest and upper abdomen. It is difficult to tell whether it is a side effect of Chat Doctor.
