What Causes Skin Rashes On Arms,neck And Back?

For the last 3 weeks I been experiencing random appearances of skin rashes....initially I thought it was the hot shower but they can appear throughout the day on my arms, neck, chest and back.....they really don t itch, and last 15-30 minutes tops.....could this be stress? I went to a Derm and she wasn't t concerned but told me to take pictures and come back if they were still occurring in a month. Also, could this be a virus.....just taxing on the mind. thx u....J.O.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have skin rashes on arms,neck and back which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, allergic reaction due to detergent, soap ,and could be due to dehydration.

I would suggest you to

- Apply cold compresses twice a day.
- Avoid any cosmetic product.
- Apply calamine lotion if itching there.
- Drink plenty of water.

If symptoms persist consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antihistamine and corticosteroid ointment.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
