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?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: you need to be seen, either your doctor or a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis, a virtual consult on HealthTap may be an option too, good luck

Question 7

itchy rash on back of neck and in hairline also on lower back?

Accepted Answer

Itchy back: You might be allergic to your shampoo or another hair care product. Without a medical exam it would be difficult to say. Consider using only a non sensitizing shampoo such as free and clear and avoid other treatments. If that doesn't work seek out a board certified allergist or dermatologist.

Question 8

i have a red blotchy, non-itchy rash that started on my abdomen and has spread up onto my chest, is not painful, does not itch. ?

Accepted Answer

Derm eval.: These lesions need to be visualized &amp; a history needs to be obtained in order to make an accurate diagnosis.  Sometimes lab testing or biopsy is necessary.

Question 9

i have suddenly developed a red itchy rash on my abdomen and hours ago i experienced a similar itch with redness in my front right shoulder area.

Accepted Answer

Itchy rash: This itchy rash may be an allergic reaction to something external like clothing,detergents,cosmetics or something internal like medications,foods. I assume insect bites or poison ivy,etc are not the cause. Try taking an antihistamine by mouth and apply corticosteroid ointment. If no improvement or more involvement, see your physician for evaluation and advice.

Question 10

i have an itchy rash around my breast area and lower back. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It is hard to tell even with direct examination but impossible without a more detailed description.  Having said that, most rash tends to be transient. However if it lasts more than 2 weeks or gets bothersome enough, see your doctor.
