Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query have symptoms of red spots on the neck which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, skin infection , eczema, allergic reaction and other medical condition.
Need not to worry. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to stop using any cosmetic product, protect your skin from sun exposure , and apply broad spectrum sunscreen when in exposure to sun . Also take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl. You should apply olive oil on scalp. Consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , take history , order skin test for allergy and blood test . Doctor may order corticosteroid ointment , anti allergic medicine , antibiotics and may alter the dose of or prescribe substitute .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
