What Is The Red,itchy And Bumpy Rash On My Neck?

I have two nickel size rashes on the back of my neck. They started out kind of flakey and itchy but since using lotrimon and hydrocortisone, they are just sort of raised and smooth but not going away. Then two weeks later, I now have a small, red, bumpy and itchy rash on the front of my neck. Can anyone help me with answers?

hello dear,

welcome to healthcaremagic.

I have read your query and understood your concern.

Such rash on your neck can be:

1) fungal infection
2) allergic contact dermatitis.

The treatment for both is different.

You have used both antifungal and steroid. IF it has been fungal infection, it won't help it in treating the condition.

I will advice you to send a picture of the lesions or consult your doctor in person so that lesions can be properly examined and correct advice can be given.

Good luck.
