I'm a 31-year-old guy and recently noticed this red mark on my neck that's been there for about 12 days now. It kind of looks like a hickey, but it definitely isn't because I haven't been sexually active in a few years. It doesn't hurt or itch, so I'm really confused about what it could be. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

A sudden red mark on the neck that doesn't hurt or itch could be from minor trauma (like scratching), an insect bite, or a skin reaction. Other possibilities include an allergic reaction. If it doesnt improve or new symptoms appear, consider seeing a doctor for evaluation to rule out other causes like dermatitis or skin conditions.
