Suggest Remedy For Itchy And Inflamed Rashes On Neck Area
I have a rash on my neck. It itches and then it gets puffy and it looks like I ve been scratched all over the area. It is starting to come up above my eyes as well. It is not bumps, no puss is involved. It tends to look better when I don t scratch it but the itching won t stop.

Hi,
It may be localised pruritus due to irritation by some irritants. Try to find out the culprit. It may be hair dye, oil, shampoo, soap, cream, balm, spray or something other. Apply mild steroid cream like mometasone cream on the affected areas. Tab cetirizine and oral steroid in tapering dose may be considered after consulting the dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
