What causes a burning sensation and moisture in the neck area?
Disease description:
In the past few days, I have constantly felt an unusual dampness in my neck, accompanied by a mild burning sensation. This discomfort bothers me greatly, especially at night, when the symptoms seem to worsen. I have tried using some skin moisturizing products, but they have not improved the condition. I am worried this might be a precursor of some disease and hope the doctor can provide a professional explanation.

A persistent feeling of dampness and burning in the neck area may be caused by various factors. This condition could be related to skin disorders such as dermatitis, eczema, or fungal infections, all of which can cause localized dampness and a burning sensation. It could also be due to overactive sweat glands, leading to increased perspiration and a feeling of moisture in the area.
It is recommended to keep the neck clean and dry, avoid prolonged exposure to high-temperature environments, and take regular baths, ensuring the area is thoroughly cleaned and dried. If the condition is caused by skin inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as erythromycin ointment or fusidic acid cream may be used as directed by a physician. Additionally, avoid using skincare products containing irritating substances and minimize friction and irritation to the skin.
