Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of red areas on wrists and rash with bumps at elbow which occurs due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis and could be due to allergic reaction of body and season change. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to get make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin. Apply Adapalene gel once at night and cover the skin so that UV radiation can not damage it. Also wash your skin with mild soap and cold water twice a day and apply aloe vera gel. If the condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist once and start treatment accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
