Question 1

i often get ring type itchy patch on me back neck it heals and comes back in 3 4months?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: There are many potential considerations  If they are ringlike and scaly, I would think of a fungal skin infection. Are your toenails jagged and fragile?

Question 2

what could a red raised itchy patch of skin on the back of the neck be?

Accepted Answer

Eczema vs dermatitis: This sounds like inflammation of the skin localized to one spot. Dermatitis is a fancy term for inflammation of the skin. Try treating with either a topical steroid such as Cortaid (hydrocortisone) or an anti-itch lotion such as sarna or sarna for sensitive skin. If this does not resolve it, see your doctor.

Question 3

very itchy rash around my neck its splotchy and very dry.  what to do for it?

Accepted Answer

Try HC cream: Without seeing the rash it's hard to tell what caused it, but it's likely an allergic or irritant reaction. Try Hydrocortisone cream, which is available without a prescription. If that doesn't work you'll need to see a dermatologist.

Question 4

my son 17 woke up with itchy rash patch on neck that looks a lot like eczema patch. hes never had eczema before. it itches and is inflamed. what is it? also says he doesnt feel well.

Accepted Answer

Can't say for sure: The most common reason for a localized outbreak on the skin is a contact reaction to some trigger agent. This could be liquid/solid/metal/plant/etc. If it's raw, sometimes a mild OTC steroid cream will help.A localized reaction is rarely the cause or part of another illness. That is likely something else.

What touches?: Are you wearing a necklace or something else around your neck?  What is in contact with the area that gets irritated.  Do you have a rash anywhere else on your body?

Question 7

sore throat small patches of bumpy. and itchy rash on elbo top of foot and knee pus pockets in throat? no runny nose or caugh. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Strep throat can occur with a rash, but some viruses also cause rashes.
