Chest and Neck rash

Chest and Neck rash

I have developed an itchy and burning rash on my chest and neck for the second time in a few weeks.  
The first time, I'd been working in the yard and thought it might be some sort of contact dermatitis and so I applied calamine lotion several times a day for about four days and it disappeared, leaving an area of my neck and chest peeling and then healed.  It began again last night and I didn't work in the yard yesterday.  I've never experienced this before and was wondering if someone has any ideas as to what would cause this and what the best treatment would be.  Thanks in advance.

Hi,

To me this appears to be a Sun Burn. there may not be much to be done now, except keeping the area clan and hygienic and ensuring that the peeled skin dosent get infected.you may visit your doctor to get more information on this and understand what this could be.

Let me know if you may need more help.

best regards
