Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have spots all over the arms which seems to be due to allergic reaction. Need not to worry.

I would suggest you

- Use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel.

- Avoid exposure to sunlight and cover skin while going outside.

- Drink plenty of water.

You should visit dermatologist once. For skin allergy you should go for allergy tests that can be done to determine the source of allergen. Start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
