Why try to guess what this is when it is really bothering you? Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. You must consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

You are not mentioning where the rash is located, so I have\nto guess that it is located from the neck up....\nIf it started like a mosquito bite and got bigger and your\nglands are swollen you have an infection going on.\nSuggestion: See a doctor.

Hi! I am really worried. I have the same thing. I have had it for a week now. It came out of nowhere and started with a throat infection. Then I got a red really itchy rash on my neck. I got some medication from my doctor and some cream to put on it. They do not seem to know exactly what it is though and now it is getting better where I put the cream but instead it's spreading beond where I add the cream, and has moved towards the back of my neck and down on my chest and to my ears. My brothers girlfriend got the same around the same time as me but hers disappeared after a couple of days. I also saw a lady in my elevator with a similar rash. Like I said it's got me really worried.. Has anyone else experienced this? Have you found out what it is yet?

Can this be your first time with the product? Your skin became irritated. You didnt specify if you continued on using the product even though the rash was present. Im assuming you did continue because you said the rash did not go away. My suggestion is to stop using the product or use it once a day. If that does not work, try other products or a milder concentration of the product your are using. If you really need help, consult a dermatologist.

Have you tried cortaid?  It also could be your laundry detergent... Its hard to tell  - it could also be fungal  which would require a prescription.....  If the rash not internal - try the highest caliber of cortaid you can find and change your laundry detergent to Dreft - to rule out an allergic reaction...... if that doesn't work - you'll know what to do.

It sounds like an allergic reaction...maybe something bit  you and it can look like a million other bites and just keep spreading too. If it gets bigger get it looked at and DO NOT scratch.  Put baking soda on it for the itch if you have nothing else.\n\nSometimes if you have a virus these rashes come about for no reason.  Maybe they are bed bugs?  Or other type of mites.  Have you had the cat checked out for parasites, fleas, mites?

I had something similar on the back of my arm. Do you have dry skin? My doctor said it was due to dry skin. Dead skin builds up aroud a hair folicle and it creates a sort of rash. Try light exfoliation in the shower, followed by baby oil on wet skin.

Although some people have suggested scabies, it doesn't strike me as sounding typical of scabies (location is usually first noticed on wrists). Sounds possibly like urticaria (hives), which could be an allergic reaction, or could be a physical urticaria, such as pressure urticaria. How long have you had this? Does heat, such as from a hot shower, make it worse?  Is the rash worse after sitting for extended periods, or if you're sweaty? How big are the wheals (individual mosquito bite looking things)? \n\nTry bathing with Aveeno, it;s an oatmeal powder that is made to mix with bathwater, you can find it at any drugstore. Mix one packet with warm water (not hot - heat will likely make the itching worse) and soak for as long as you comfortably can (15-30 minutes).  OTC antihistamines such as Benadryl may help, but it's better to consult a doctor than trying to dose yourself with medications.\n\nIf you've had this rash for a while (weeks or months), you really should consult with a doctor, since there are some systemic conditions, including cancers, which can cause a persistent rash. Not to scare you, but they should be ruled out.

it could just be a spider bite, or another insect bite. i would get it checked out though. make sure you clean it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on it for the time being. and if you can get any OTC medicine that could help with bites that would be good. also its different in every part of the country and the world. so what might affect some people doesnt effect others. like it could be a scorpion bite. but it all depends on where you live. it may just be a rash though too. but i think its an insect bite.

ah sounds like a contact dermatits rash. stop using that lotion you may be allergic to it and how well do they clean that tanning bed hummmm you may have some funky stuff growing on you. to be on the safe side go and let a doctor look at it. If it itches as you said the best thing to put on it is hydrocortisone cream you can buy that over the counter you can get that anywhere.

I would get a second opinion, three months is an awful long time to have a rash. I've had a rash thats called pityriasis rosea and it last for about 3 months, you should check into that. Go online and see if the rash on your soon looks the same as the rash of pityriasis rosea. Doctors are not sure what its cause from, there is no medication to get rid of it and it goes away on its own. Its nothing to worry about if that is what it is.

Actually sounds like heat rash. Keep the skin dry, and try to find a type of medicated powder such as Gold Bond Or Fissars

I had something similar - it turned out to be an allergic reaction.  Ultimately though, this could be many things.  I definitely recommend going to the doctor.

It is not likely eczema since that would be itchy.  Can you describe these spots more?  How long have they been present?  What parts of your body are they on?  Have you been sick or ill since these spots occurred?  How big are they?

Sounds like an alergic reaction or heat rash. or some type of fungle infection. Acne or sweat pimples are other possibilities. Check with your doctor.

Bug bite perhaps? Maybe you're eating something you're allergic too. If it is still bothering you in a couple of days  talk to a doctor before it gets worse.
