Suggest Treatment For Red Colored Rash On The Back
since a month ago I noticed a red rash on the back of the neck after my usual hair cut. it is not itchy . and not flaky. The skin looks normal but red. I have used the anti fungal cream but it does not go away, the redness is a bit less after one month using the cream. Any Idea what it could be? I have no allergy. male . 35 years. the first time seeing this.

Hi,
It could be a form of eczema e.g either seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis . The back of scalp and neck are common sites for these conditions.
If I was the treating doctor, I would recommend that you use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g Mometasone Furoate cream or Triamcinolone Acetonide, twice daily for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
