What Are The Reasons Of Sudden Bright Red Rash On Face And Chest, Neck Pain And Headache?

I have had a sudden bright red rash on face and chest, taste perfume and feel really dizzy with neck ache and headache - never had it before and don't know whether to be worried or not! I have had a few strange spots lately but I'm too old for spots at 36!

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed acute urticaria.
It is an allergic condition.
Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.
You need to find out the cause.
Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.
Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
