Question

Red circular welt


Sent to Health Experts September 10, 2006 9:37 p.m.

I have an area on my neck that is red and about the size in diameter of a baseball. There is a small scab in the center. The place initially itched but no longer does. It is not hot . It has been welty. Do I need to see a doctor?

Is the rash scaly or dry?

Have you recently been bitten by a tick in that area?

Does the rash hurt?

Can you think of any object that was on your neck that fits the markings?

Has the redness spread?

Can you send a picture of this through email? That would help greatly to indentify the rash and possibly what caused it. Thanks.James
