Question : Hello, I have developed some kind of patch in my neck recently. It looks like burned skin. I thought it might be sun burn. But, it started to become little bit itchy now. Should I personally visit a doctor, or can you recommend some medicine that I can apply on the skin? Thanks in advance!

Brief Answer:
Mometasone

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It appears to be insect bite hypersensitivity or contact dermatitis.
It's an allergic condition and can be easily treated with the use of mild topical steroid cream.
Apply ointment mometasone twice daily for 5 days.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
