I am experiencing itching in my neck and face with some reddish patches. I have taken medicine for 10 days, but the itching has returned. What should I do?

A fungal infection, eczema, or an allergic reaction may cause persistent itching with reddish patches on your neck and face. Since it returned after 10 days of medicine, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and possibly a stronger or different treatment. Keep the area clean, dry, and avoid scratching.

I'm sorry to hear that you're still experiencing itching and reddish patches despite taking medication for 10 days. Itching with redness on the neck and face can have various causes, including allergic reactions, infections, or skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis.

Since you mentioned taking Cefadrox (an antibiotic) for 10 days, it suggests an attempt to treat a possible bacterial infection. However, the return of symptoms indicates that the cause might not be bacterial, or the infection may need a different treatment approach.

Here are some steps you can consider:

  • Avoid irritants: Use gentle, fragrance-free skin products and avoid scratching to prevent worsening.
  • Monitor symptoms: Note if there are any new symptoms like swelling, pain, fever, or spreading rash.
  • Consult a dermatologist: A skin specialist can examine the affected areas, possibly perform tests (like skin swabs or allergy tests), and recommend appropriate treatment such as topical steroids, antihistamines, or other medications.
  • Review medication: Do not continue or restart antibiotics without medical advice, as inappropriate use can cause side effects or resistance.

If you experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or high fever, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Please schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to get a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're dealing with itching and redness on your neck and face, even after taking medicine. Could you please provide your age and gender?
