What Causes An Unusual Red Ring Around The Neck?

I have an unusual red ring around my neck. I thought it was due to using an electric razor, but my grand daughter pointed out that the back of my neck was really red too. Putting moisturizer doesn t seem to change it. No other symptoms. Thought it was maybe years of wearing a shirt and tie, but it seems that the last six months it has gotten worse.

Hello,

The red coloured circular lesion could be a fungal infection.

For that topical antifungal medication like luliconazole can be applied.

Kindly post photo of the lesion to confirm it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
