Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes on the arms and neck which is very common due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. It can also occur due to allergic reaction or side effects of certain medicine. It could be due to fact as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cream containing azelaic acid , apply apply ice pack on rashes to minimise the redness and inflammation and apply vitamin C serum at night. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , antibiotics like clindamycin , anti inflammatory or anti fungal . Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
