What is going on with my skin?

Every now and then I get a small really dry patch of skin on my neck which tends to go with some thick moisturiser. Recently this isn't doing the trick and the dryness had grown to cover my whole neck and started to move up my chin. It's itchy and uncomfortable. It's really visible and the skin looks and feels stretched and almost prickly too.

Then I have times when the skin on my chest goes bright red, looks like sunburn and feels a bit hot. It's itchy, looks raised and angry.

I then seem to be getting red and itchy patches in skin folds (bikini line and under bra etc.)

All happening simultaneously but each part slightly different from one another!

Have tried multiple creams but nothing is clearing it and it's making me irritable!

Any similar experienced and ideas of what worked? Might try a pharmacist tomorrow to see what they think too.

Sounds like psoriasis?

Good idea to speak to the Pharmacist. Try anti chafing powder or liquid talk for your skin folds.
Kit and Kin magic salve is worth a try for your neck and face. It’s natural and designed for babies.
It sorted out a dry scaly rash on my DD’s face (adult) when other creams including prescribed ones hadn’t worked.
