I have had a spreading, non-itchy rash for three weeks, including one behind my neck. What could be the diagnosis, and what medication should I use to treat it?
A spreading, non-itchy rash lasting three weeks could have several causes. Common possibilities include Pityriasis Rosea (which often starts with a single patch and spreads), a fungal infection like Tinea Versicolor, or an allergic reaction. Because treatment depends entirely on the exact cause, you should not start medication without a professional diagnosis. Fungal infections require antifungal creams (like clotrimazole), whereas inflammatory rashes may need mild topical steroids or moisturizers. I highly recommend visiting a healthcare provider or dermatologist for a physical exam to get the correct prescription.
