Do Round Rashes On The Arm Go Away On Their Own?

Hi, my 26 year old daughter had 2 round circles on her arm. Red around the outside and white on the inside approximately 2 inches in diameter. They appeared suddenly and have subsided after about 2 hours. They are still visible but not nearly as much. She had Lyme disease about 10 years ago and these look very similar to what she had before. Just wondering if Lyme bullseye, would the rash disappear. Can’t remeber

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Most likely she has Hives. Hives are evanescent. They are itchy and may take various shapes, appearing like a patch, circle or annular or in a geographic pattern. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the itching and redness. In addition, I suggest her to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab Cetirizine once a day for a few days

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
