Can mold around the shower cause a skin rash?

Ever since i moved into my new apartment i have a rash of tiny bumps on both arms and my face, what could be the cause of this? Perhaps mold?|||Possibly if you have a sensitivity to mold.It could also be caused by your soap,shampoos,laundry detergent etc.|||The only way the mould could affect you is if you: ingested it directly (doubtful), or you have an mild allergy to mould (could happen). If you spot mould around your shower, I would go to the doctor and explain to him your predicament.





My best guess is your new apartment holds the spores or dust of something you're allergic too, (eg, if the previous owner had cats, and you're allergic to cats, this might happen).





Use a mild mold remover in your shower. It will remove any mold spores, and then see if the irritation persists.
