What Causes A Rash And Discoloration On The Forearm?
My 32 year old son has a rash, discoloration on his forearm, left and right sides that won t go away with all kinds of creams and lotions. It actually looks pocked with holes. There is also discoloration on the tops of his hands. He is refusing to see a doctor. I don t know what to do
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
