What Causes Itchy Rashes On Neck Of An Elderly Person?

I have mixed connective tissue disease and rosacea. Lately I have had hives and a rash today on my neck. The hives have come and gone over the last month. I am very ichy. I am careful about make up, use All Free, have covered bed for dust mite control. I don t know what to do. Any suggestions? I am 71 years old.

For itchy rashes on neck you can take some antibiotic cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching. You can use candid-b powder or clop-g cream for local application. Take fluconazole 150 or ketoconazole once daily at night for at-least 5 days. If still the itching is persistent than you can take steroids as per the advice of doctor.
