This doesn't really affect me much, but I'm curious why I have Red spots/Rashes on my body.
I play badminton once a week for 3 hours nearly nonstop. And afterward I sweat quite a bit. At home before taking a shower I notice various red marks on my body, mainly on my chest.
I see them on my body after I take a shower as well. I use a Dove Soap bar. And after I dry myself they appear.
Is my skin allergic to something?

 Hello-
It is possible that you have some sort of allergy or sensitivity to "something", but sweating itself often will cause this sort of rash. Then again, Dove and similar soaps containing additives are also known to cause similar rashes in certain sensitive individuals - lots of them, in fact. So it could be an either/or situation. Since they disappear after showering and drying off, I suspect it is likely your own sweat which is causing the rash. This is not unusual at all, though it can be annoying. The good news is they do go away in a predictable fashion. Could be worse!
Hope this is helpful.
