What Causes Rash On Neck/chest/face While Having Problems With Kidney/gallbladder?
I m a 21 year old female,5 4 and 150 pounds. I ve been having problems with my kidneys and gallbladder, but now I keep getting a rash on my neck, chest and face. It usually doesn t itch, but it s been getting more frequent and worse. I have no idea what s triggering it- food, light, etc. It s started to make my neck start to swell (making it hard to swallow/breathe- but this could be anxiety). I get extremely warm when this happens, too.

Hello,
Rash may be due to uremic dermaopathy or niacin deficiency or anemia or infection of submandibular lymph node. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done ultrasound of the neck. Take tablet Levocetirizine for five days. If the symptoms not improved please post a photograph or consult with your nephrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
