Hi Rhys

Here are a few ideas to heal the issue.

Cause
Although most rashes are not symptoms of a serious health problem, they can be signs of allergies, liver and gallbladder problems, lupus, bleeding disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.

Rashes can also be due to the elimination of toxic wastes through the skin, or of an active immune reaction to an invading organism. Suppression of such a rash can lead to chronic disease states. Rather than try to suppress the rash, in such cases watchful waiting may be more advisable.

Caution: If your rash becomes chronic, forms a "butterfly" shape over your cheeks, or is accompanied by high fever and joint pains, seek immediate medical attention to rule out more serious illnesses.

Natural Cures

Diet: Screen for and eliminate any foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Eat an organic, whole foods diet, with plenty of green leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Also drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid all processed foods and chemical food additives.

Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically to the affected areas.

Herbs: The following herbal remedies can speed healing: A tincture of equal parts burdock root and gentian root, the fresh juice of coriander, and/or aloe vera juice or gel.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Belladonna, Sulfur, Graphites, and Calc carb.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.

Juice Therapy: Drink fresh squeezed vegetable juices on a daily basis, especially carrot, beet, radish, and garlic juice.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful to speed healing: vitamin A and vitamin E (both orally and applied topically over the affected areas), vitamin C, essential fatty acids (EFAs), flaxseed oil, and amma linolenic acid (GLA). In addition, add half a teaspoon of baking soda to water and drink every fifteen minutes. Do this three times, and then every two to three hours for two to three days or until the reaction subsides.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating rashes: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (Hydrogen Peroxide), and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

I used to get a big rash on my neck and it produced large areas that were very itchy. I couldn't figure out what it was until I discovered they were most severe when I wore certain types of necklaces. I was alergic to some of the chemicals found in my leather necklaces. I don't know if you wear them, but if you do, you might want to check it out. Good Luck.

Answer 3

THis Sounds VERRY Sever And I Seriously Think You Should Go To A Doctor ASAP!

Answer 4

The first thing you need to do is find a different doctor. If you have been there and you still don't know what it is shame on your doc. Go to a pediatric dermatologist. They deaal in young people and skin problems.pp

Answer 5

OMG I have the same thing, it has been going on for at least 5 months. they will go away if I leave them alone, but I can never leave them alone. They itch. I did have one doctor put me on a steriod pack and they went away,now they are back. I have to go to another doctor. good luck. I don't have any idea where they came from or why they are there, If I scratch them they become bigger, its weird!

Answer 6

If you had this problem for a long time now, you need to get a second opinion, or tell your doctor you want to see a dermatolagist, I wouldn't be wasting anymore time worrying,Obviously, that doctor didn't find what the problem is.When it comes to you health, be agressive.

Answer 7

I have something very similar and it is very itchy. Usually cortisone cream helps to calm down the itch and it heals.

Answer 8

There is a possibility that it is an ingrown hair.
