Itch neck
by Paula1212, Dec 06, 2008 03:07PM
I seem to have a itchy rash on both sides of my neck. I scratch it so much I am now getting dry patches. Any idea what this could be caused from? I am not using any new products or medicines. I take a prescribed sleep aid that I have been on for over a year. Could I develop a reaction after all that time?

It would be unlikely that you develop reaction to the long term use of the medication you are taking. Do you have a history of allergic reaction to food, dye or jewelry? Are there other signs or symptoms present? This rash could be due to an irritation, dermatitis, folliculitis or fungal infection. Acute dermatitis presents as erythematous, edematous and blistered plaques. While chronic dermatitis accompanied by rubbing and scratching results in darkened, and thickened plaques. Try to avoid scratching to prevent secondary infection. If it persists, it would be best to have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper diagnosis and management.
Take care and regards.
