How To Treat Rashes On Wrists, Hands, Arms And Neck?
I have rash on both wrists/hands/upper arms/ neck and shoulders with a few small red bite marks. My wrists are solid red. I treated the RV with flea powder and flea bug bomb since I am near dog walking area and treated yard. I don t have pets but have pet owner freinds who visit but they dont bring pets in my RV. I ve been doing natural cremes and benedryl creme and tablets. This has been going on several weeks and is now getting progressively worse. Last year I developed nickel poisening from my gold jewelry and when I saw my doctor in January she gave me prescription Triamcinolone creme which worked well and rash and symptoms went away within week. I tried the creme on this new rash to no avail.
You might require an antihistamine and steroid injection since the rash is extensive. If untreated, anaphylaxis which is a severe and fatal allergic reaction may occur in some patients. If bite marks are due to animal bite,rabies vaccination should be started and full course should be completed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
