What Does Non-itchy Red Puffy Mark Growing On Neck Indicate?

My boyfriend has a red circle on his neck the size of a dime that has increased in size over the past 2 weeks. It started as a series of 3 dots/bumps that I thought may have been a spider bite or an ingrown hair. It does not itch & is not sore It s red and puffy.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes on the neck which is very common due to sunburn, due to allergic reaction or side effects of certain medicine. It could be due to fact as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry and apply cream containing azelaic acid. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically and may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications. Apply ice pack on rashes 2-3 times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
