What Is The Solution For Skin Irritation And Rash On Neck, Ears, Elbow And Forehead?

I have been experiencing a skin irritation for sometime now. Months ago it was manageable and would go away with out any treatment. However, over the last few months it has gradually worsened and I have sort medical advice. I followed this advice which worked initially but symptoms have returned and increased. I have my hair dyed monthly and have done for over 10 years, I think I am allergic to some chemicals.as the rash starts at the base of the neck and behind my ears. Recently I have experienced some rash on my elbows and forehead.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis. I suggest using antihistamines such as Loratadine to relieve the itching. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I recommend to avoid the chemicals that you think can be the cause of the symptoms.

Take care
