Question 1

why do i keep getting a rash on my neck?

Accepted Answer

Contact?: There are lots of chemicals/fibers/metals that can cause a contact dermatitis.-which is a rash caused by something you are allergic to coming into contact with the skin - causing a red, itchy rash - sometimes its a necklace, or a new piece of clothing, or a new detergent or softener in the laundry - try to isolate these and withdraw one at  a time and see if rash is better - then avoid! good luck!

Question 2

why do i get a red rashes on my neck when i get nervous?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety Rash: It's not the anxiety itself that causes a rash, but the stress caused by anxiety.Stress puts your body in a state of extreme tension, and releases a great deal of cortisol and adrenaline into your blood stream – both of which are known to lead to skin reactions.Try to take deep breathes, drink plenty of water, and do some activities that relive stress. Hope this helped :].

Question 3

hello doctor,
i  have   taken allerid   for  2 days (4 tablets)  a  ew days back and  developed  skon rashes(itchy)  on face,neck  and hnads.please  advise  me to  get rid of  this...

Accepted Answer

Time/fluids: It sounds like you have had an allergic reaction to this medication. Please make your doctor aware of this so that you are not prescribed anything similar in the future. Consult your doctor before using other antihistamines. Pushing fluids and time will get rid of the rash and itching but if it is severe see your doctor as you may need a steroid prescription.

Question 4

i have a rash that has been persistent on my neck for about 6 months now. it's grown but not rapidly. i used to get rashes like these on my knees and elbows when i was younger but they went away after a while. what may this be? should i go to a derm?

Accepted Answer

: I think you should be seen for ruling out psoriasis.

Question 5

i take a warm or hot shower and dont use any soap or shampoo and i get rashes on my neck. had a rash on my chest too but its no longer ,neck only?

Accepted Answer

Need exam for Dx: Many things can cause a rash on chest and neck.  If you are not bathing with soap, then that can be eliminated, but clothing often has soap/softener residue.   People with atopic dermatitis will often get a rash from friction of clothing around the neck or areas that perspire.  Seborrheic dermatitis is common in hairy areas.  Psoriasis can occur anywhere.  Tinea versicolor is fungus on chest/back.

Question 6

hi i took tab dexamethasone 8mg this morning before a run because i did not want to get injure. i only took once and im not on long term. i start to have rashes on my groin, legs and neck. i alsp having insomnia. what should i do? should i be worry?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination, and maybe some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 7

i think i have scalp infection. have rashes, pimples, extreme dandruff, lymph nodes back of neck. how to confirm it and get rid off it?

Accepted Answer

Scalp Hygiene: You should see a dermatologist, in the meantime applied a shampoo
which will be useful for fungal and bacterial infections.
It also will be useful, if you could have your hair cut Short.

As you have lymph nodes in your neck is quite possible that you have
an ongoing infection, you will require culture and sensitivity of the organism
and started on antibiotics

Question 8

i get jock's itch, facial and neck rashes and itch and dry skin the next day i consume alcohol. what could be the problem? i am 46 years old,on obese side,drink alcohol,say weekly...sugar and cholestrol border line with poor eating, not on medication

Accepted Answer

Easy to explain: It makes you sweat more and move less while sleeping. I'm glad you're eager to make a change. You're still young and probably vigorous. Head down to the local gym or sports center, let others see that you're working hard on your body, and they'll accept you as a friend and support you in your body transformation. A lot more is at stake than just the skin in your groin and neck. Best wishes.

Question 9

why do i get skin rashes in the winter time especially while i'm sick? on the neck, body, inside of elbow joint. sometimes they itch a lot at night. i have ocd. the rash are bright red. it happened before when i didn't have covid but i have covid now?

Accepted Answer

: Eczema flares can occur in hot or cold weather, dry or humid conditions. Do you have a family history of eczema, asthma or hay fever? A dermatologist is best to evaluate, advise&amp; treat you for these bright red rashes which I assume are itchy.

Question 10

plan b one step pill and hives related? i took the plan b pill 2 almost 3 weeks ago and i've started to get hives or rashes on my stomach, arms, legs, back and neck. it weird because i had no other side effects. but i was wondering if it could be related

Accepted Answer

The : The odds of you having an allergic reaction from a Plan B taken three weeks ago are highly unlikely. Even if this was the case, there is no treatment aside from over the counter Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for itching.  Consider other potential allergens like new products, lotions, or soaps.
Good luck.
