What Causes Itchy Red Lumps On Neck And Face?

I slept at a friends house over the weekend and now have itchy red bumps on my neck/face, it might have been from a dirty pillow or something but I'm not quite sure. I've used antibacterial soap on them the past 3 days but it's getting worse. any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy red lumps on neck and face . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis ,acne , allergic eczema , psoriasis and contacy dermatitis . I would suggest you to keep your self in moist environment , do not apply cosmetic product on face , also avoid hard soaps . apply cold compresses on itchy bumps to reduce itchiness and inflammation and take over the counter anti histamine like benadry . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist fo proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , take history and go for allergy test . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic , anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwar
