I've been dealing with this rash on both sides of my neck ever since summer started, and now there's a similar rash showing up in the crease of my right knee. They're kind of these small patches that have a bit of a white appearance. I've tried using hydrocortisone cream on the ones on my neck, but they haven't gone away. They don't really itch, but they look darker now and the texture feels different. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
