Suggest Remedy For Blotches On Neck Due To Allergy
Well one day last summer I got alergic to the seat belt in the car which I thought was an alergy. I started getting itchy on my neck then the doctor gave me this cream which I used. Then next thing I noticed that my neck had about the size of a dime little blotched of bruses on my neck about 20 or more blotches. I don't know how to get ridde of the blotches there so imbaresing. I always have to wear a turtle neck to hide my neck.

Hi,
Thank you for the query.
I would like to know few more things which would help me in suggesting you better. Hence do not mind to answer these:
1.) Since how long are you experiencing this problem?
2.) Do you have headache, stuffy nose?
3.) Do you get fever or sore throat?
4.) Do you notice similar blotches while jogging or running?
Your History suggests that you may be suffering from Pityriasis rosea, which is a scaly skin rash caused by Herpes virus and sometimes the cause is unknown and it is not contagious.
It has to be confirmed, kindly get yourself examined by a Dermatologist so that he/she may examine you and suggest a bloodwork and Skin biopsy to rule out other causes with similar symptoms.
Once confirmed you will be treated accordingly with Antiviral medications and Phototherapy if the symptoms worsen.
However,You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.
Follow these lifestyle modifications:
1.) Use lukewarm water when you shower or bathe, because it is less irritating.
2.) If you have itching, use calamine lotion.
3.) Stick to your treatment plan and go for regular follow up.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Wish you Good Health.
