Common Questions and Answers about Itchy bumps on back neck
bumps
Almost 3 weeks ago I started to have hard red bumps on my neck and back, feeling itchy in my hands. After few days I had new bumps on my face, my tummy and my left arm. In the last few days they got much worse on my neck and back but basically disappeared from the rest on my body. When they first appeared at the beginning where like small mosquitos bites but now some of them are flat, other ones look like imploded and the have a white hole in the middle and they look much bigger.

I have been getting my hair cuts close to the scalp for several years. Until now, I never had these red bumps on the back of my scalp where i get close haircuts. I go to a professional barber who uses clean equipment. These red bumps are not itchy and dont have any pus. The bumps look like acne with no pus. I wash my hair daily. I havent used any new products. Are these red bumps due to scalp folliculitis? What is it? Is there any treatment? I like to keep my hair short(military).
1.5 years ago I started having itchy and painful bumps on my scalp. Mostly on the back side of my scalp. I received antibiotic treatment and they went away. 6 months later they came back. I received antibiotic treatment again. They went away. This past summer they returned. I waited for them to go away. They did not. The severity varied until December of 2008. I went to the doctor and he gave me antibacterial shampoo treatment. This has not been helping.
i have been getting strange red itchy bumps that are similar to blisters on my arms and the back of my neck for over a year now...i recently found out it is prurigo nodularis. but the symptoms sound similar...the bumps go away (for the most part, there is always a scar even if i leave them alone) and then come back somewhere else, or around the original infection. apparently they're untreatable for the most part, and stress makes them worse. wonderful.
I have little blisters on my neck and wondering if they'll go away on their own or if it could be something else that needs treatment?
I visited my parents up north and thought it could be because of the cold but it's been a month already since then and they're still there. The area is itchy sometimes.
Has anybody figured it out yet? I also have all the same symtoms,. itchy head, back of neck bumps on the front of my neck, but no lice! My mother thinks I am paranoid, Ive had her check my hair so often, even with a magnifying glass!-but theres nothing there. the doctor prescribed me aqueous cream and coal tar shampoo, and it worked for a short time but not in the long run.
The redness of my face has reduced, however, I still have the bumps all over my face and neck, and now they seem to be spreading to the back of my neck and also ears. They are still very itchy. Not sure if I should stop using the ointment since it hasn't been 5 days yet but I can't tell if the ointment is helping. Please advise! Thank you.
So about 8 months ago my son who is 9 broke out in a rash/bumps which started on his butt cheeks, moved to his legs (mostly around ankles) but still had bumps on his theigh too, then He had about 15-20 bumps on his stomach, back, arms and neck. So I took him to the dr and the nurse practitioner diagnosed him with scabies. We treated him with the cream along with putting hydra Cortizone cream and Teatree oil all over his body. Within a week they went away.
Is it small little bumps forming a ring? If so, it's probably ringworm...and it's contagious. It usually starts from a cat scratch, but not always.
Folliculitis esp pityrasporum folliculitis produces red, itchy pustules on the back and chest and sometimes on the neck, shoulders, upper arms and face. It's caused by the yeast-like fungus.
The rash of lichen planus is mostly found on the upper torso but can sometimes involve the face.Treatment involves oral and injected corticosteroids in the bumps.PUVA (psoralens plus ultraviolet A) is also helpful.
at first I thought it was the cloths because they were new so I took it off but today I woke up itching and I started feeling itchy on my back as well. the bumps are only red when I itch them. since they were under my ears I thought it could have been my earrings because they were new as well but they've been out since sunday and its now Tuesday.
A couple of months later I moved to a warm climate under stress and itchy painful red bumps formed on my scalp near the back of my neck, then on one side of my mid neck. Gradually, small blotchy, bumpy itchy redness developed on both sides of my neck, shoulders, under breasts, armpits and recently my hips! I have been to the doctor 5 times, including 2 Dermatologists. I have been treated for acne, fungus, bed bugs and scabies, and I think just Dermatitis in general.
I’ve been dealing with these 2 itchy and flaky red bumps near my neck/scalp area on the back of my head. I’ve had them for about 5 months and finally visited the dermatologist. We both assumed it’s ringworm so she prescribed 100mg of fluconazole. It’s been about 3 weeks and it’s not working. I’m starting to think it’s not ringworm bc it hasn’t spread anywhere. Does anyone have an idea of what they could be?
I have an itchy blotchy rash on my back, with several raised bumps (there are no blisters/heads to them). The whole red area is about the size of the palm of my hand, excluding my fingers.
It started a couple months ago as a couple bumps where my bra strap is sewn into the back part of my bra (note:not a new bra). I really thought it was just the bra that was itching and tried several different bras (new & old).
Hello there. I have had these red bumps on the back of my neck and spread down to my upper back since January 2012. They are very itchy and there is no liquid oozing out or if squeezed any debris coming out like with acne. I saw my dermatologist in Febuary to discuss with her and she said it was acne even though I was put on accutane, during that time which cleared up my face nicely.
Hope somebody can help... Over a year ago I got my hair cut, just a normal trim - the razor only being used on the back of my neck. On the walk home, my neck was really itchy but that's pretty normal after a haircut so I ignored it. A few days later the itch hadn't gone away and I'd noticed painful bumps in the area, I couldn't see them obviously so I took a picture and saw that the top of my neck was really red and irritated, covered in little red bumps.

Just like the first clusters on the nape of my neck, upper back, and upper-arm... those recent raised itchy bumps also showed up before I "scratch" them... then, just like others the bumps flatten a little when the itching sensation temporary subsides and raised again when the area starts to get very itchy again within hours.
I am so sorry to rant and ramble on and on about my rash... they are not super gross looking and they don't have blisters or puss or anything like that.
To go back to the beginning, a week ago I woke up with 3 or 4 little bumps on my left forearm. They do not become agitated until I scratch them, and if not scratched they fade away to almost nothing, and are itchy sometimes.
I didn't think much of it, until every night I would go to bed and wake up with more, randomly during the day I would notice myself scratching them and the little bumps would show up out of no where and get irrated.
Hi,
This could be miliaria or sweat rash, which presents with small and sometimes itchy rashes that occur at the face, neck, chest, back, and body folds. Miliaria is a common ailment in hot and humid conditions and usually resolve. Try to avoid activities that induce sweating and avoid hot and humid weather. Topical antibacterials or antibacterial soaps may also help. If it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management. Direct clinical examination is essential.
