Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have developed a sever itching on my neck that is related to jewelry or wool blend turtleneck sweaters. I use Benadryl cream to stop the itching which works well, but I have noticed behind one of my ears a few bumps that really itch and all other itching seeems to emanate from there. I have been told this is just something I will have to live with. What is your opinion? Should I get an allergy test?
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
