On my neck I have a bunch of red patches of skin. They don't itch or hurt unless I mess with them for a while. When I itch around the area it seems to spread a little.

I have no idea. I would go by your dr.

Have you used any new products?! That looks like a bad allergic reaction. I agree with Kim, go see a dr asap.

It doesn't look good. It could be just contact dermatitis, which is just irritated skin from a soap, a food, some environmental cause or something else (my dad's an MD) I'd go see your family dr tomorrow if you can just to make sure it's nothing bad. In the meantime, you could take an antihistamine to try to calm it down if it's just an allergic type reaction.

I haven't used anything new at all. I actually don't use anything at all. These spots have been here for a few months now. I think it's a fungal infection now. I just now put some aloe on it an it burns on the spots a little. I can't see the doc rn cause we need to set up an appointment. If he doesn't know we are going to a dermatologist.

I thought they would just go away because I have gotten them before and they went away.

If you can't see your doctor tomorrow, I'd go to a walk on clinic. If you've had them for a while and this isn't the first time, I'd be slightly concerned.

It does look like hives from an allergy, could be a good allergy, but could also be a sign of a more serious bacterial infection, I'd skip the doc and go straight to a dermatologist.

Not good, food allergy.

Looks like it possibly could be ringworm (somebody needs to find a different name for that, since it has nothing to do with worms)

Melissa I thought that, I just hope whatever it is, it isn't deadly lol.

I would definitely get to a Dr. as soon as possible. If it is some type of infection, you probably keep re-exposing yourself to the source (like ringworm for example). Try not to scratch to avoid secondary infections and I hope you find the answer and feel better fast!

My family has a history of psoriasis and rozecea (I don't remember how to spell it) and they think it's either one of those two, or Eczema. My entire fam has skin problems so I'm not worried lol.

We're still going to skin doctor to have them look at it though.

Hoping for you that it turns out to be psoriasis or eczema and not ringworm (those aren't fun to deal with either, speaking from experience, but at least they aren't something contagious). Yay autoimmune skin issues, haha.

Are you stressed out? Worried? I got eczema on my hands for the first time this summer because I was stressed but it looked different, all cases look different. It cleared up pretty quickly with just a topical cream, took about 10 days.

My boyfriend has psoriasis and it looks exactly like that.

I have this as well and I honestly have no idea what it is. Mines looks like yours and it isn't itchy and doesn't hurt, but mines all over the back of neck and I've got a line around the front of my neck too. I'll try and take a few pictures of mine. I thought it was heat rash at first but I'm not sure. Mine seems to be getting a little better with hydrating oil and body lotion (I've been using an aloe Vera lotion). Haven't been to the Dr's about mine as it's not painful, isn't contagious and I felt it'd be a bit of waste of the Dr's time. There is eczema in my family so if there is a history of it in yours, it literally could just be that. Sudocrem might help it!

I would get it checked out by a professional. ♡
