Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of red mottled rash in arms which seems to be due to contact dermatitis.

Need not to worry. You should apply only petroleum jelly and avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry, protect it from sun. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test, blood test, allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of certain drug. Doctor may prescribe immuno-suppressants along with anti inflammatory and cortico-steroid ointment.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
