Suggest Treatment For Rashes On Arms
Question: hello, on my right arm is a small red "discoloration" it is smaller than a dime. it does not hurt or is uncomfortable. I do drink alcohol, beer mostly and wonder if I should be concerned about my alcohol intake.
Brief Answer:
might be a rash. keep a watch. get examined if increased size
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
A red discolouration of this small size which is not giving any trouble to you is not of any significance.
It could be just a plain rash to some pressure imprint or something else.
Unless there is complaints of itching or pain or anything related to the discolouration it is nothing to be worried of.
But keep an eye on it. If it is increasing in size or starts causing any complaints then it is always better that some doctor actually examines it and see himself what it is. Showing especially to a dermatologist will be more useful.
Meanwhile if it is some allergic reason you can try taking some antihistaminics like allegra or levocetrezine and see whether it comes down.
I hope i have answered your query well.
If you have any more query kindly write back to me will be happy to answer them.
Thank you
