Skin Looks Like Raw Chicken
A patch of skin on my neck started to look like raw chicken skin. Wasn't like a rash. It spread around my neck, at night when I laid put my head on a pillow, it started prickling. A dermotologist prescribed hydrocortisone Valerate Cream USP 0.2%. It's still spreading and prickling. Even on my head.
