Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bumps on head and neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hives , meningococcemia , shingles , scabies , contact dermatitis , eczema or psoriasis. Need not to worry. For now keep your arm clean and dry , do not apply any cosmetic product and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day . Protect your skin from direct sunlight and apply cold compresses on it.If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , skin patch test along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , corticosteroid along with anti bacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
