What Causes A Deep Red Rash Appearing On Neck?

I have a deep red rash appearing on my neck it started about a week ago on the left side of my neck and was itchy then I out antihistamine cream on and it seemed to go away now but came back on the right side of my neck and seem to be across the front of the neck and a bit like a burn but no where else on my body! Have put neoporison on it this morning does not seem to be any better!i did pull out a Devils club plant out of my garden but wore gloves so did not think it would have touched my neck your thought Thank-you Sue

Hi,

Dermatological conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. Infection versus a reaction would be the main decision on what is going on. Often people react to something put on the neck and would be a ring around the neck. Often people TOUCH their necks and can put plant oil on the neck without a reaction on the thicker skin of the hands.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
