General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for your question.

The rashes around your neck is a result of irritation from the cream you applied. Here is a list of very important things to do to get rid of the irritation.

1. Avoid scratching: Scatrching worsens the situation and exposes the skin to bacterial infection.

2. Get over-the-counter antihistamine drug such as benadryl, this reduces the itch.

3. Apply a low potency steroid cream such as hydrocortisone cream over the affected area. This cream resolves the inflammation.

4. Ensure that area of skin stays wet after bath. After each bath, apply a moisturizing cream on the area.

5. Have lukewarm baths.

I hope I have answered your question. Feel free to ask more questions for clarification.
