What Causes Skin Rashes On Forearms Along With Dryness And Itching?
At 72, I suddenly have skin rash on my forearms just so that it is not all that visible but when I scratch it the skin surface is lightly broken to have some minor bleeding. There are scale like areas where the skin is dry and where scratching there with a fingernail produced a white dry surface. Can I be saved? I could go to CVS and have them take a look! Thanks guys, Joel Plastridge

It is mostly due to skin infection on forearms. For this you can take some antibiotics preferably droxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion of your doctor along with Avil or cetrizine for itching with omez-d or pan-d empty stomach. Use Vaseline for dryness and clop-g or candid-b cream for local application. Thank you
