Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Itchy Red Rash On The Back, Neck And Upper Arms?
I have several symptoms. I have an itching red skin rash over my torso, back, neck and upper arms. I have chills and goose bumps on the back of my upper arms. I feel cold but have persperation and chills mostly in my back. I am 82 and was in very good health.
hello thank you for writing us here. The most probable cause could be bacterial infection. I would suggest you to take doxycycline and cetrizine for 7 days and the rash would go away. Also I would suggest you to take shower at least twice a day and wearing clean clothes. God bless you
best regards, Dr Gunjan
