What Causes A Rash On Head,neck And Ears?

For the past few weeks I have been suffering from a rash type thing that s like small little pimple like bumps that starts in my head and goes into my neck, back and my ears it gets so bad that I scratch till it bleeds. Haven t used anything different than I ve been using before. I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck that swell and then go down, and I also get reoccurring abcesses. Have had tests for thyroid all normal. I have noticed I ve had a lower anger threshold (not sure if it s related ) please help.

Hi,

You seem to suffer from prurigo simplex most probably. Irritants and allergens may be responsible. Even psychological upsets might exacerbate the disease. Your immunity may be poor, so secondary bacterial infection occurs leading to lymphadenopathy. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel,
