Suggest Treatment For Red And Swollen Spots On Face And Neck

I have a few red spots on my face and my neck and decollete aria are really red and seem to be swollen. It seems like really thick skin. It looks like really bad sun burn and feel like it. It is itching and burning. The first time it started when we were in Mexico in June of this year my neck started to itch and I just thought it s because I burnt my skin but when we got home it was getting worse and worse . I applied some home remedies and it was gone but in a couple weeks it came back and now it seems like it s coming back every two weeks ,stays for a few days and nothing seems to help. My dermatologist does not know what this is and my family doctor has no idea either so what should I do?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red and swollen spots on face and neck which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped and leads to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry and apply cream containing azelaic acid. You should apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, antibiotics like clindamycin and may prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
