Is Itchy Neck Rash Related To Dandruff?

I have a neck rash which has only appeared in the last two or three days. It s very itchy, looks a little like hives/ nettle rash. I take taken antihistamine and used several itch creams but still appears in two tennis ball size patches on both left and right hand side of neck. In addition , I have been suffering with dandruff recently, which I haven t had for years . Any advice?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be something called seborrhea. It is associated with dandruff and remains there as long as dandruff is there. Apply Clotrimazole ointment over the affected area after washing with warm water and soap, Simultaneously you have to apply Ketoconazole shampoo over the scalp for dandruff. If the problem persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
