Sweat rash on neck for over a year!

[AntiqueBooks]

Hello,

I'm 42. For the last year I've been waking in the night with sweat round my neck. This has resulted in patches of dermatitis and actually seems to be worsening. Even hydrocortisone doesn't sort it.

I'd welcome any thoughts please.

To answer likely questions:

• I'm a healthy weight
• I don't smoke or drink. I don't eat a lot of sugar/spice/caffeine.
• having regular periods, don't think I'm peri yet
• I think it started during a house move last year albeit I don't have a high level of stress now
• I wear 100% cotton PJs with a low neck
• I don't like to sleep with the window open tho as i'm on the ground floor (plus it's winter in Scotland so blowing a gale most of the time!)

I can't speak to the cause (though may well be peri), but I had a similar problem with a sweat rash around my neck, and the only thing that got rid of it was Dettol original bar soap (the yellow bar).

Thanks Scared! I will try that!
