What Is The Remedy For Rashes On Hands, Arms And Neck?

I seem to have a strange non itchy rash on my hands, arms and neck .. Have used Benadryl at night and reactin during the day but seem to be the same.. No improvement. I did stay in a hotel the night before noticing these odd bumps. A little paranoid that I have now possibly brought home bed bugs???

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
As you have the rash on sun light exposing parts like hands arms and neck, it is most likely a Photodermatitis. Anyhow its better to show a dermatologist and confirm it.For photodermatitis i usually treat with steroid creams, short course oral steroid tablets and advise patient to avoid direct sun exposure.Do limit the amount of limes, celery, carrots, and figs in your diet, because these contain natural psoralens (sun sensitizers).Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
