Hi, I'm 18 and I have a vertical band in the middle of my neck. It shows mostly when I look up. I don't tense my neck for it to show, it shows when I'm resting, even looking down. I'm not sure if it's extra skin (even though I'm naturally thin) or a muscle in my neck? I'm assuming it's genetic since my mother has her own neck concerns as well. I'm hoping Botox will treat it but I'm not sure. Perhaps a Plasma Pen? I would prefer an affordable and easy treatment as well as appropriate for my age.

If the second photo is your current photo, you need to wait, probably at least 3 months. Otherwise, you could have some permanent discoloration in the area treated and even scarring.
I would avoid plasma pen in someone with eczema, especially in the flare up areas. Your skin is lacking an enzyme and may not react in the normal fashion.
