Looks like a good candidate for an episode of "Mythbusters"

ahem, a Hot brown...is a dish served at the Dwarf House restaurant in Hapeville, GA (next to Hartsfield International Airport). The Dwarf House is the home of the original "Chick-Fil-A" which (Thank God) can now be purchased in California only 20 minutes from where der Dauphin lives.

And somewhat back to original topic - does putting something like baby powder on it help any?

Now, that's funny.

No, I haven't tried baby powder, but I did try showing my boss my chest (decent and ABOVE my little cherries). He refused to look at the rash. Refused! He just said, "you've got issues."

Okay, look it, people! The pics were NOT racy or indecent in the least!

Ron! This is all your fault. It was just pics of my chest and neck and upper back with red dots on them!

Not that I want to see the area where it is red, but without seeing it is hard to tell what you have.This is time of the year when we get many patients with the same symptoms you are having in the pharmacy. Sounds like a heat rash.
