Hi,
Your daughter probably seems to have contact allergic dermatitis around neck. She may be having itchy erythematous papular lesions. There may be some cause. Soap, clothes,insects,housedust,house dustmites..etc may be responsible.
You may give atarax 10 mg tab twice a day. Apply mild steroid cream like mometasone cream. Keep her away forom suspected allergen. Avoid soap bath. You use diluted dettol for bath.Avoid dipsalic oint to apply as it contains salicylic acid,which is not needed and might irritate her skin. However,you consult eminent dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
