Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per you query you have symptoms of itchy red bumps on right ear, neck and left leg which is pointing towards a condition known folliculitis due to hair follicle infection and it could be due to contact dermatitis as well. Sometimes it occurs due to allergic reaction as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wash your face with cold water. Apply cold compresses to your face 2-3 times a day. Take antihistamine drug like benadryl . Apply broad spectrum sunscreen such as TANCARE to face all the times. Apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment and retinoids .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
