What Do Itchy Rashes On The Neck Indicate?

My 7 month hold has what looked like a scratch from on side of his ear almost to the other on the back of his neck. I noticed it about a 5 days ago and didn’t think anything of it. Today it’s bigger in diameter looks more like a welt, is red and slightly raised. Soft to the touch. Looks a little dry. It doesn’t seem to be bothering him and there are no other symptoms.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Sanjay Kini's Response

Hello,

You might be having some allergic rashes. Allergy can develop due to several reasons- some foods like egg, fish, pollen grains, animal hair, nylon, terylene clothes. Try to find out what you are allergic to & avoid it.

Try home remedies. Apply coconut oil daily three times a day for one week. If you are not better consult a dermatologist. It can be fungal infection or eczema.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
