What Causes Recurrent Burning Sensation And Red Rashes On The Neck And Chest?

For the last year and a half, I have been suffering from a burning red rash that moves from my neck, chest, breasts, under my breasts, and rib cage. It is like I am on fire. It drys out and the skin becomes very hard and dry. I am in significant pain. It has been treated as both an allergic reaction and a strep infection of the skin. Though, the antibiotics have cleared it in the past or may help for a short period of time, it always comes back. I am also experiencing some hair loss. I have had blood work that has looked at ANA, white blood count, diabetes, strep, syphilis, lupus, pancreatic cancer, etc. All my blood work comes back normal. I am also experiencing some swelling in my left ankle.

Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to dry skin and dermatitis.

For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. Take tablet loratidine for itching.

Maintain proper hygiene. Avoid hot and humid environment.

Take bath at least two times a day. Avoid sweating. Alternative you can apply aloe Vera gel locally

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