How To Treat A Flat Rash On The Arms And Legs?
Hi have a flat rash on my arms and legs. I had a cyst on my ovary and took a medication for 20 days. I then took b12 shots and iron because I became very anemic. I had a rash of bumps and raw places for 2 months. For the last month I have had a flat rash that does not hurt or itch. Looks like measles.

Hi,
It may be lichen planus. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. You may take oral steroids in tapering dose. Apply mild steroid cream twice a day. It is a benign disease and may clear in few weeks to months. Avoid stress which may exacerbate the disease.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
