What Causes Itchy And Painful Rashes On Back Of Neck, Cheek And Ear?
I have a rash like symptom on the back of my neck and left ear, cheek and down my neck, with red bumps that itch and is painful. I do not feel sick other than a dull head ache like feeling on the left lower side where the irritated area is. No other health issues. I have no known allergies and I have not eaten or changed any household product use (shampoos, soaps, lotions).
