Red Rash On Shoulder Blade, Earlobe, Itchy, Swollen, Got Small Wounds. What Should I Do?
I have developed a red rash on the shoulder blade , earlobe and behind the ear all on my right side. This is since 3 days now and while it itched on day 1, there is very minimal itch now. Also, the earlobe is slightly swollen and when I pressed it yesterday, blood oozed out a bit and now there are small wounds ( nicks) all around the circumference. I have no other medical history

hello rajoo
You havent said it is painful or not. and your age.
It could be herpes infection .
as it is limited to an area and only on one side.
You must consult Dermatologist as this if not treated can be painful on long term.
Doesnt seem to be allergic as they are mostly generalised .
you must get done your blood sugar levels.
