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?

Contacting the health department may be the best thing to do.  I hope you are successful in bringing attention to the conditions you've observed.  It would also seem that this question belongs in a category other than Skin Conditions, more like Government or Law.

Depends on the cause of the itch. Do you have a rash, or just itching?

This could be so many things. Have you changed your laundry soap or clothes or anything else in your home lately? colonge? You could just be having a mild reaction to a change. It could be stress. Have you had chicken pox? I would reccomend watching it for one more day. In the meantime try some benadryl to see if it is an allergic reaction you can start with 25mg no more then 50mg (two pills) every six hours. If it doesn't go away you may need a topical seroid or ani fungal...skin things are rough to diagnos without seeing...if it's still there tomorrow or about a week total get in to see your doctor...btw I would never encourage avoiding a dr so if you want to go sooner good on ya

It depends, where is the rash, and what does it look like? Could it be the side effects of the medication you are taking? Have you consulted your doctor?

It could be a heat rash, or chicken skin (not sure of the actual medical term but you can find it like this online) you might want to take him to a dermotologist.

Considering the location on your body where the rash is occurring, my guess would be most like heat rash. And yep, the humidity won't help, either. If you can get your hands on a clay-based talcum powder (Burts Bees make one, don't know if you can get it there, though), wash the affected areas thoroughly, dry completely, then apply the talcum to those areas. In a pinch, cornstarch will help somewhat, but the clay talcum works the best of everything I have tried. Also try wearing underwear that allows the skin to breath, like all-cotton, just so long as it does not contain manmade fibers. And you want it to fit in such a way that it prevents rubbing and further irritation of the skin. Hope this helps, I know how miserable rashes can be.

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.

You sound very concerned. Why don't you seek professional help then? Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. You must consult your doctor or a dermatologist. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

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.

Stress is definitely the cause of your rash, although a lot of alcohol might be a trigger.  Are you hitting the bottle to ease the stress?  If so you'll end up with a big old red nose!\n\nI suggest going on a sunbed as that will help any red rashes.  Get some organic vegetables in your diet, and find ways to chill out - exercise, laugh, enjoy life.\n\nWhatever you do, though, don't use any creams as you might end up with scar tissue in a very obvious place.  Trust me, I know from experience!

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.

If its been there for 1-2 weeks i would get it checked at the doctor.  You might need a hydrochoridisone cream, that will stop the inflammation and itching.  It could be a sweat/heat rash or an allergic reaction to a washing powder or soap?

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.
