Suggest Treatment For A Red Blotchy Rash On The Neck

Tonight about 2hrs ago, while getting changed into nightwear I noticed I had a red blotchy rash around my neck that feels sore with a burning sensation but not itchy at all. This maybe coincidental but I then had an extreme hot flush lasting about 5mins soaking the back of hair but not had another since. I,ve never experienced this before either. 6wks ago I started using Systen Sequi HRT Patches so could this b some sort of reaction? Again this is a 1st if it is a reaction to these patches.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red blotchy rash on the neck which is very common due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. It could be due to fact as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cream containing azelaic acid , apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , antibiotics like clindamycin , anti inflammatory or anti fungal . Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
