Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes on shoulders which seems to be due to contact dermatitis. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like improper hygiene, allergic reaction, psoriasis , skin infection, fungal infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry , protect it from sun. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test , blood test , allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of certain drug . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. Doctor may also prescribe antifungal like fluconazole or anti bacterial like clindamycin. Avoid touching or pricking rashes.You should apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
