I have a strange rash on my neck and shoulders. i do have eczema on my arms but this looks different- it almost looks like leopard print [no joke]. does anyone know what this could be or even if there is a website where you can see images of rashes etc to determine what they are?

Thanks in advance

Is it white patches?  If so I think this is a fungal infection and it can usually be cleared up by a cream prescribed by your GP

Its red and if im hot its even redder.  - Thanks anyway

It could be an allergy to food or washing powder.  try taking an antihistimine.

 

Other than that it could be heat rash, try some calomine lotion on it

Thanks very much 5029

Its all good advice... any more suggestions would be appreciated

not usre if your female or not but if you are and your taking the pill this can cause these as i get them on my arms and have in the past had them on my stomach.

They do come out in small patches and are dry too and can itch sometimes. I usually moisturise these areas with a natural organic moisturiser but something with little additives works the same.

Sorry if your a bloke i wouldn't know what they are in that case LOL

Sounds like it could be ringworm?

I had something similar - turned out to be an allergy to biological washing powder (even though I'd used the same brand for a long time) Try changing to non-bio - it worked for me.
