What Does A Red Blotchy Rash From The Nose Down To The Arms Indicate?

I have a red blotchy rash from my nose on the left side, down my face to my neck. and on both arms from my hands to my shoulders on both arms. I do a lot of gardening in my yard. I have never had poison Ivy,but this itches really bad, and just keeps on spreading. nothing below my waist yet,but i do garden barefooted. it seems to be on both ankles. YYYY@YYYY . thank you.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest using antihistamines such as Benadryl to help with the itching.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
