Suggest Remedy For Itchy Red Rashes On Arms And Legs

Hello I have gotten these rashes over the past week. It started out as one bump and went from my arm to my leg. It is much larger on my leg and is quite itchy and red I don t remember itching it until i saw the scab but the scab is blackish in color and accidentally I picked it and it oozed clear a little bit. I don t know if this is poison ivy or not I need help thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy red rashes on arms and legs which can occur due to conditions like contact dermatitis , allergic reaction due to detergent, soap , fragrance , chemical, metal such as in jewelry, an animal bite, or an insect sting and lyme disease. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antihistamine , corticosteroid ointment and may give adrenaline short . For now take benadryl twice a day , apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
