What Causes Redness In Neck And Chest On Touching?

i am a girl and when ever i touch my neck/chest it gets red. it does not hurt and goes away within 1-2 minutes. the same things happens to my ears but they burn as well. i am allergic to some kind of metal and i am pretty sure it is not nickel. why is this happening?!?!?!

Hi,
This is not a abnormal condition rather it might be physical urticaria occurred as a result of physical touch,pressure, heat,cold,anxiety, exertion etc.
Secondly,it can be true dermatographism occurs as a result of pressure by finger tip,pen,key etc and it generally disappears after few minutes without any treatment.
So,if you are suffering from this then first thing you don't have to worry.It subsides by itself or you may take antihistamines like benadryl,avil,cetrizine etc and the rashes will go away.
You can consult dermatologist for further advise.
