What Could Cause Feet Rash?
Hi. I have a rash on the tops of my feet and ankle region, inner thigh and upper arm underneath which is very itchy. It started on the back of my ankle. A few days later it was suddenly on both inner thighs and upper arms. Nothing seems to stop the itching.

Hi,
It may be contacted allergic dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some allergens responsible for the disease. I would recommend you to take a course of oral steroid in tapering dose. And also take antihistaminics like cetirizine. Apply mild steroid cream. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
