Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Do Itchy And Painful Rashes On The Neck And Chest Indicate?
My mom has stage 3 IDC breast cancer and has developed a rash on her neck and chest. It has spread quickly since her surgeon saw her on Wednesday. It is itchy and painful. She is allergic to anything metal that is not gold. Could this be from the hooks or markers from where they did the biopsies?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. Some advice that I can give to you are: -Take oral antihistamines -Use Calamine lotion for local relief -If you don't get better, consult your doctor and get the corticosteroids prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
