Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy red rash on collarbone. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction , sun burn , fungal infection or side effect of medicine . I would suggest you to avoid applying any kind of cosmetic , apply petroleum jelly , protect it from sun exposure and take anti histamine like benadryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like allergy test , skin patch test or blood test . Doctor may order immunosuppressants , corticosteroids , antibiotics along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
