Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be insect bite reaction.
I need to ask you few questions:
Is it present on one side of the neck or both the sides?
What is the duration of the rash?
Are they solid bumps or in the form of fluid filled blisters?
Did they appear suddenly or gradually over a period of time?
Kindly revert with the answers.

Possibly urticaria. Levocetrizine tablets would help.

Brief Answer:
Consult a rheumatologist or internal medicine specialist
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached reports.
You seem to be having raised IgG antibodies against EBV which indicates old infection along with raised CRP which indicates infection or inflammation in the body.
Moreover your M spike needs to be sorted out with further investigations.
For all these complaints I would recommend you consult a rheumatologist or internal medicine specialist.
