I Have A Brown Blotchy Skin Rash On My Neck?

Question

For years now, I've had a brown blotchy skin rash around my neck. I have no idea what it's from and my doctor just thinks it's an allergy. But didn't really seem confident. I have SUPER sensitive skin but you would think it'd go away SOMETIME, right? I don't wear jewelry so it's not from that. It also doesn't hurt--it's just ugly. Any ideas on what this is or how to get rid of it?

Answer 3

It sounds like it could be tinea versicolor...it if is, that is a fungus that gets in your blood, and is often picked up from locker rooms, gyms, etc...any place where you come into contact with others...it can be transferred from using the towel of an infected person.

It is ugly, but harmless....

Go to a dermatologist for a prescription for selsun lotion...which is a topical solution you will have to apply on the affected areas, leave on for 10-15 minutes, then shower off.
