Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney . I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.

Such itchy lesions on body may be due to number of conditions like scabies, pyoderma, bullous disorders, fungal infection, viral infections etc.
I need to know the following details:
1) For how long these are present?
2) Does itch aggravate at any particular time of day?
3) Any specific sites of body involved apart from arm?

I will advise you to reply to above questions and attach a pic of the lesions so that i can help you to my best.
If you have any further query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
