Suggest Remedy For Itching On Neck And Chest

I have a itchy under the skin starting on neck and chest. It is now going to my face. I now have pimple like hives on my upper chest. It has gotten progressively worse over the last week. I wake up in the night itching. I have tried Benedryl and hydrocortisone cream and neither helps.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching on neck and chest which occurs due to hypersensitivity of skin and increased exposure to sunlight leading to hyper-pigmentation. It could be due to allergic reaction as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to cover this area on exposure to sunlight. You should apply TAN CARE with spf 26. You should apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Oral retinoids are one of the most effective medicines which are recommended in case of your condition.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
