15 Year Old With Rashes On The Arms And Legs. Came Back From And International Trip. Reason?
hello,
I am 15 years old and an weird rash has came up on my arms and legs about 2 days ago
it went down a bit but I went out today and the rash has came up worse on my arms and moved onto my hands
I have recently came back from Italy on a school trip and i'm not sure what the rash is I am having some Piriton for it but its not doing much good, would mean so much if you could help,
thank you

hi
two common things we have to think of are prurigo and sun allergy.
how was the sunexpopsure during the trip?
currently do the eruptions itch on sun exposure?
the answers to above will help us guide you further.
in the mean time topical application of mid potent steroids and oral anti histamines can help.
why dont u visit a dermat so that you can b guided abt appropriate medicines for the desired period.
hope it helps.
feel free to ask further.
regards
dr amit
