Suggest Treatment For Itchy Sores On The Legs, Arms And Back

Question: Hi, My mom 83 years has had some skin issues. Bleeding itchy sores on her legs, arms and sometimes on her back. We have gone to five doctors. In which one prescribed a steroid . It cleared up. That was last summer now its back on her leg again. Any suggestions to which doctors I should bring her to. I must admit some of the doctors said it was due to her age.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Fine.
Most likely she has an eczematous skin condition.
I will wait for the Images. Till that time she may take an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
