I dont know if this is the right place to post this in, however I need help and I will take any information I can. I have this wierd almost rash like swelling on my neck and I have no idea what it could be. My only symptom is that it is sore underneath the skin. Any help would be great, thank you.

Hello and hope you are doing well.
It looks like an abscess. It could also be a sebaceous cyst, a lipoma, or lymph nodes. It could also be due to allergic reactions and infected hair follicles. If there is accompanying swelling, redness, discharge and fever it is most probably an infection. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and initiate appropriate therapy.
