What Causes Burning Sensation On Back Of The Neck?

Last night I got this burning sensation on the back of my neck. When my mother looked at it I had about 10 white bumps,they looked like mosquito bites. I took benadryl an put cortizone cream on it. Well when I woke up this morning I had more bumps on my chest and under my arm pit. I checked for bed bugs, didnt see any. Please help me! I need to know what it is. I thought it might have been shingles, but ive never had chicken pocks

Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

It may be contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream and to take a course of oral steroid in tapering dose. Also take antihistaminics like Desloratidine 5 mg daily till the itching is relieved. Avoid contact with soap.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
