Since last fall I've gotten this thing that looks like a hickey pop up in the exact same spot 3 different times. Right in the middle of my neck. However, I know for a fact that it's not a hickey. It doesn't itch, hurt, or anything. I'm nervous because I'm not doing anything that would cause this. I'm 39 years old and in decent health. Hydrocortizone cream doesn't help. It's difficult to get into the doctor because by the time I've made the appointment and finally get in, it goes away. It pops up unannounced and seemingly without being prompted.

Greetings. It could be urticaria - but I would need to see the lesion to make any diagnosis. Or atleast bring photos of the same when u see a dermatologist. You can apply calamine lotion in case of any itching or burning sensation.
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru

Thanks for the query.
This presentation can be seen with many diseases. This is limited information to make precise recommendations. The best option is to consult a Dermatologist to understand the condition. A thorough evaluation if necessary should be done. A photograph of the affected area will help you get better recommendations. Hope it helps you.
