Skin. ...thing Posted: 07-02-04 19:29pm
I have this bit of skin discoloration
around my neck.. As far as I know I am
(not) allergic to anything. I havent had
any diet changes and I dont have anymore
stress than normal. The bit of discolored
skin seems a tad less smooth, almost dry
compared to the rest of my skin. It
doesnt itch, sting or cause any kind of
discomfort. I didn't even know it was
there until I noticed it in the mirror.
Now that I did notice it i'm not sure how
long it's even been there. Any ideas what
this could be? How I can get rid of it?
one is brighter because I used a flash.
(and no its not a birth mark)

Does your skin react in any way to
contact? When you scratch your skin, is
there a flush, flare or a wheal reaction
at the area? By looking at your pictures
it might be something similar to
dermatographia, where a course of
antihistamines would help you out.

I couldn't bring up your pics so I don't
know what we're looking at here, but I am
allergic to nickel which is basically in
every kind of jewelry. Whenever I wear a
necklace my neck breaks out. Mine
typically itches though. Just an idea!
Also whenever I wear my wool coat and it
rubs on my neck I break out.
