What Causes Rashes And Itching On The Forearms And Legs?

I have been getting a rash and itching on my forearm leg and lower abdomen. I treat it with Benedryl or Cortizone cream and the rash typically goes away in an hour. I have been getting it intermittently for about a week. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks,

Hi,

The itching rash you are having on your forearm and lower abdomen could be due to:
- allergy from any allergen: new detergent? new medication? new food?
- fungal infection

Please send a photo for further evaluation.
Otherwise, as this has been going on for one week, should see a dermatologist and skin scrapping examination under microscope might be required.

Wish fast recovery.
