Non-itchy rash behind ears and neck area

by greensgirl46, Oct 19, 2009 10:10AM
I am getting a  rash..behind ears ..sometimes on eyelids..sometimes neck/chest area.  It is red...non-itchy..after a day or so will dry up and leave flacky skin. then go away. comes back again and again. I have gone to 2 doctors. One said hair dye , one said shampoo the cause. I am not seeing any improvement after taking their advice.  I would also like to know what this is and how to treat.
Sometimes it starts as just a reddened area..fairly large..other times a small round bump or flat . in my case either behind ear, eyelids, forhead, neck area, or upper chest area. Has been going on for over a year.

Hi,
How are you? Was there an allergy testing done? This will determine the specific allergen or irritant that is responsible for your symptoms. Avoidance of the offending substance will provide relief, if this is an allergy or irritation. If it persists, further evaluation may needs to be done. Your medical history and direct clinical examination needs to be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
