What are these red spots under my breast?

For about two weeks now I have had these red spots under my breast and in a few spots on my stomach, they are not painful and do not itch, but I don't know what it could be from? Anyone have any ideas, they do not appear to be raised from the skin? Concerned??What are these red spots under my breast?
It could be tinea versicolor...it's actually very common and nothing to worry about. I have it in the same places you mentioned only mine are a tan color but get red when I'm in the sun too long. Tinea versicolor in the simplest form is just an overgrowth of a fungus that's part of your natural flora.What are these red spots under my breast?
Is the texture of the skin any different? I was thinking IBC but you said its not painful and they are on your stomach so I really doubt it. I would definitely go to the doctor and get it checked out. How big are they, like chicken pocks?
No. You really shouldn't be concerned unless, like you mentioned, they are painful and itch. I have a younger sister and she has purplish streaks, its no bigge, they will go away in time! If your really concerned ask your doctor next time you have an appointment. But please don't sweat it!
