How Can A Itchy Rash On The Neck Be Treated?
Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem to be shingles
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Health Care Magic
An itchy rash without blisters is very unlikely to be shingles.
Shingles usually presents with pain, burning and blisters in a single dermatome of the body.
According to your complaints, it could be dermatitis.
If I were your treating doctor, I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once daily at bedtime for 10-14 days.
Let me know if there's any further queries
