What Causes Raised Spots All Over Neck Spreading To Arms?
My 5 month old son started getting a rash on his neck about 2 weeks ago, only a few spots evident but over the last 2 weeks, its spread all over the neck and under his arms. Its ike spots that look quite sore , they re raised but dont appear to offer hm discomfort.
Most likely it will be miliaria- a rash developing commonly in summer from blockage of sweat glands. It appears as minute papules over an erythematous base. Nothing other than frequent wetting with cold water (not ice cold) is needed. For some patients with itching, calamine lotion and occasionally antihistaminic drug will ofter discomfort. It is better to avoid talcum powder as it can exacerbate the situation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
