What Cause Itchy Rashes On Forearms And Top Of Palms?

For a month I have this rash on forarms, top of hands that is very itchy. I stopped going to the pool a month ago. Its worst. I tried that pink stuff Calamine which worked for a day and night then became too drying. Not its just my everyday lotion. Today is unbarable. I cannot get into doctor till next week. I have 4 larger red dots since 3 weeks ago. They get better then regress.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to allergy from something you exposed. A short course antihistamine like levocetirizine orally along with calamine lotion for local application will be helpful for this. If you are able to find the allegen (causative agent) try to be away from its exposure again.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
