non itchy non painful rash on upper back & neck

(Sanford, FL )

I came home from the gym last night & my wife notices this rash on me. I do not believe I had it before I left to the gym. I am currently training for a body building contest I eat very healthy and clean. I take a shower 2 times a day. I eat about 200 carbs a day and about 225 grams protein currently as I am cutting weight now. The rash is not painful nor itchy. Here are the medications I am taking is vyvance 70mg and for working out I'm taking a pro hormone called anavar. NO steroids. I am also taking zinc, milk thistle, mens one a day, juice plus, vitamin C and b12. I took benadryl last night with no change to te rash. The rash doesn't hurt or itch. Just looks like small pinkish red inflamed bubbles all around my lower neck and traps. Other than that I sweat a lot at the gym and also use the stand up tanning.

I think this is probably a fungal rash and I would suggest trying some Clotrimazole cream on this (they sell it at Amazon and here's the link: Canesten Cream 2% Thrush 20g Health and Beauty). If it doesnt settle, then it might be related to your Vyvance as this is known to cause rash.

Fungal rashes are not associated with poor hygiene although sweating and therefore moist areas are common sites. If it doesnt settle, you will need to discuss this with your primary physician.
