What Is The Remedy For Rash On My Neck With Numbness?

Hi, I ve recently developed a rash mostly on my neck and a few on my wrist. They are tiny little red bumps with dots in the centre that look like and feel like scab. It feels numb and dry over that area too. Has been going on for 4 days now. Any idea what kind of rash it is and is it dangerous?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for the rash on neck with numbness.

There can be multiple possibilities f the rash and it requires thorough physical examination of the area. You have also not told your age and sex along with important medical hstory of any other problem so that we could have helped you better.

In your case it can be herpes zoster or an insect bite causing the problem. I suggest you to not touch the area at all and do not try to scratch it.

In my patients with your kind of problem I prefer to give an antibiotic cream to apply. An antihistamine like cetrizine can be taken for itching problem.

All the best.
