Common Questions and Answers about Eczema on the neck

Avatar n tn It's eczema not an infection. There is no cure. steroids just tune down the response of your immune system. I wouldn't use steroids if I were you. The doctors prescribe them, but the people that deal with eczema on a daily basis don't use them. They make it much worse in the long run. Eczema will pop up occasionally, it is becoming more of a problem. Just look at this board. Thousands of adults that never had any skin problems are now afflicted with this horrible disease.
Avatar f tn I'm a 19 year old female, and have had reoccurring eczema on my elbow creases and neck for the past few months. My GP told me the most likely cause is lactose, so I am now avoiding eating dairy products (for almost 2 weeks now). I have eczema on my eyelids which I tend to scratch when I sleep, I have been putting Sigmacort cream on it but it doesn't help. Is lactose causing the eczema on my eyelids? Is there a short-term fix to the eczema on my eyelids?
Avatar n tn I've had this red ring on my neck for a few weeks now, it doesn't hurt or itch. I feel healthy otherwise. The skin feels normal and isn't rough or painful. It sort of looks like a hickey. http://imgur.com/rEDIF.jpg http://imgur.com/qp5Za.
Avatar n tn My neck is really itchy and red and it goes all the way to the top of my head and every time I scratch my neck it burns a little, I think it may be a rash but I don't know what caused it. I didn't use any new perfumes, lotions, body wash or hair products and I haven't wore any jewelry lately. Does anyone know what this might be or what I should do? Thank you!
Avatar n tn Recently I have had a sore throat twice in one month two weeks apart. The rash on my neck is very painful. My doctor seems to think that it is some type of fungus. The dermatologists suggest that it is eczema. But I don't think that is the case. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/246331'>Oral HSV-2</a>.
Avatar n tn For the past few years I have aquired small red dots on my neck and chest. They are not a rash- they do not itch or hurt. They are not pimples or skin tags- they have no texture or outward appearence. They are located underneath the skin. It almost looks like broken capaliares scattered across my neck/chest. I am very fair complected. What is the cause of this? Is there a cure to make these things disappear or to prevent these? Should I see a demeratologist?
Avatar n tn I have been wearing Vidctoria secrets bra for as long as I remember, but bought a couple of new ones, and not I have broken out on my breasts, the itching is annoying and I haver gone to the doctor to see about it, but the cream that he prescribed is only helping out a little bit, what other suggestions may I ask for the itching and the marks left on my breasts to help the healing process.
Avatar m tn a couple of days ago, i found little bubbly and itchy rashes on my neck. The next day there was more on the side of my neck. Those type of irritated rashes have also appeared on my penis, around the scrotum, and under the testes. Several rashes are also on my stomach, and on the underside of my arms. I don't know what it is, but it has a really annoying itch. I am not sure how to handle this. Do I need treatment, or does this naturally go away? Thanks a ton!
Avatar n tn I used to have that when my Eczema was taking over my body i had it really bad on neck i went to my docter and he gave my healing steroids which cleared my whole body up and they worked a treat intill they run out then it came back BUT not on my neck so thats how i stop it come back.
Avatar n tn That's exactly how my eczema started. I had patches on one eye after about 3 months of moving to Los Angeles. (Is it the dryness? Dust?) And then, it turned so horribly bad, I saw three doctors. The second one gave me steroids, it went away insanely quick, and then came back, worse than it was before. The third one gave me Elidel. It's not a steroid, and it works. There is still a little eczema on and around my eye, but I can live with it (though I hate it.
Avatar m tn The type of medication prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type of eczema, past treatment, and the patient’s preference. Topical (applied to the skin) medication like mild steroids(hydrocortisone)to higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide) is frequently prescribed. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
Avatar m tn The bumps and rash on my neck chest and scrotum are going away and it seems like the rash on my arms is too but does this sound like eczema or something worse???
495402 tn?1220617403 Looks like I've got eczema on the back of my head and my upper neck, my doctor told me yesterday that it's most likely a side effect from the Hep C medication, which is all well and good but how to I get rid of it. Where it's on my scalp, under my hair, I can't put any type of ointment on it. Last night my boyfriend put some of his eczema salve on my neck and it did seem to stop the itching for a little while.
1867791 tn?1320155874 on thursday, october 27th, i noticed some itchy red bumps on the inside of my left elbow, which later spread to other areas on my arm, and to my neck, face, ears, and a little on my stomach. i went to a doctor on sunday, and was given some benadryl, and prednisolone. ive been using the medication the way i was told, and ive also been using a 2.5% hydrocortisone itch lotion, and nothing is stopping the itching or making the rash go away.
Avatar n tn About a week ago I noticed a red bumpy dry patch on my neck. It feels like dry leather when touched. I can't seem to find out what it is. I do usually wear a necklace but it's one I've been wearing for years with no problem. I have attached a picture, any ideas as to what it might be?
Avatar n tn i have a lump on the finger (the one next to my little finger) it's been there for just over 2 months & isn't going down atall, it is on the nail side up side of the finger on the the 2nd joint from the fingernail? Does anyone know what this could be, I am worried it is cancer???
Avatar n tn Hi Nancy 1002, Could be an allergy since it is seasonal but could be as the above post said, eczema. I have eczema and I get tiny non colored bumps on my hands and they peel and on my legs they are tiny and red and itch like mad. Do not scratch it makes it worse. I found that Eucerin Plus intensive repair dry skin care hand cream works for my legs and hands. It has some ingredient that coats the skin so it doesn't dry out. You have to keep the moisture barrier. It works pretty well.
491146 tn?1209202414 Hi, Yes my daughter complains alot that its itchy. She didn't show me or until it spread so im not quite sure how it started. I know she suffered from dermatitis but the nipple area just looks rather different. She has got a hair root folical infection which is constantly being treated and that lead to a lump on the side of her neck.
Avatar n tn Hello, Apart from steroids which is basic treatment for eczema, topical emmolients to prevent moisture loss from the skin can be used because Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed but they are not used in children.
Avatar n tn After severall years of travelling, on my most recent vacation I ended up getting a pretty bad sunburn which ended up being sun poisioning and left me with swelling of the face, i got a cortizone shot and took some prednisone and i was fine, the other day I was outside for just a short period of time and I woke up with 2 odd looking red spots the size of a dime one on my forehead the other on my neck the one on my neck was very itchy the one on my forehead was not, I'm wondering if this is a
Avatar n tn What started out as a little itch is now a huge area. One on my neck, and the other on my arm. I thought it was a bite now looks like a red bumpy mess. It is itchy all the time I've been putting aloe, and hydracortizone, and others all to no results. This is the first time it has ever happened to me. I do take alot of vitamins for the ALS symptoms like C's E's D's. I didn't have the reaction in the start so why would I have it after awhile of taking the vit's?
Avatar m tn Like another poster I have a flakey, itchy rash behind my ears where they connect to the head. I guess this may be eczema? But at the same time I've developed tiny whiteheads on both sides of my neck between the ears and clavicle. There are also some of these present on my upper chest. And at the same time I have a mild itchy rash in the contact area of my upper thighs and scrotum. Are these connected?
Avatar m tn Hello, It can be due to eczema. Topical steroids is the mainstay of treatment of eczema. For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist. Symptoms can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin.
20668025 tn?1503261651 My initial suspicion was heat rash or eczema. None of the rashes appear to be bumpy. The rash on my neck has a long welt where I believe I scratched it Thursday and the rashes on my arms have inflammed since Thursday due to excessive scratching. The skin irritation doesnt appear to hurt much but is definitely itchy and somewhat sore.
Avatar n tn now that im not feeling sick my muscles in my back and neck have stayed sore and cramped. it had recently moved to my neck and the front of my neck almost down to my chest. and now i am experiencing the itch, my neck , my chest and my rib cage front and back, i cant stop itching! i had a massage and felt better for about 3 hours and im itching even more, i dont want to panic but i want to know if theres something wrong with my liver or if its stress related and im just freaking out.
