Nickel allergy?: Good evening, red and itchy marks around the neck and around wrists could be due to contact allergy to nickel, which is often present in wrist watches and chain worn on the neck. First treat the rash with cortisone cream until the rash goes away and avoid contact with any metallic wrist or neck wears.

I am getting small red pimples on my back, neck and arms. It is not itchy but when I do get them, they sort off drain me out. I did an allergy test a few years ago and I am allergic to dust mites, could this be bites?
