Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurring itchy patches behind ears and on chest which seems to be due to allergic reaction and it could be due to contact dermatitis.

I would suggest you to :-

- Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of fluid .

- Take benadryl to relieve the symptoms .

- Take rest.

Visit dermatologist once and get complete examination done, if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after thorough examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
