Hello....I have a reddish rash which looks like a sunburn on both sides of my neck, around the neck line in front and side of lower base neck. No change in soap, cologne, wash detergent, not on any medications but its driving me crazy itching to a point I don t want any clothing to touch the area. What could it be and any solutions? could this be an indication of something serve?Thanks!
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, it could be a irritant dermatitis. The cause of dermatitis can be a cloth, or soap. So, try to find the cause for irritation and avoid the irritants. You could apply an antibiotic cream for a week and if you do not get an improvement, do consult your Dermatologist. If the rash extends rapidly, you should consult your Dermatologist immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Siva Subramanian.
