Brief Answer:
Need to have the following data...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for providing the photo which is telling a lot regarding your actual problems.

However, I still need to have more information:
- is it itchy? or burning? or any other local symptom?
- are you using any medication recently? or any new drug you might have taken recently?
- do you keep animals or working with animals?
- any family member or relatives or friends with skin problems?
- do you work in garden?
- any new detergent/cleaning product/personal hygiene product used recently?

All these data will help give a more specific opinion regarding the rash in you arm.
Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Dermatitis,cortisone cream to apply...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for providing the requested information.

Taking all them into account, I can say that the rash is dermatitis (skin inflammation) unless you have used any medicated cream locally. I was reviewing the other discussion you had with the dermatologist here at HCM where you talk about a recent history of bacterial skin infection. This makes me think that you might have used an anti-bacterial cream locally that might have caused such irritation.

I advise to apply cortisone cream locally to reduce inflammation and observe changes for the next days.

Hope it was of help!

Brief Answer:
Thank you for clarifications;still think you can try cortisone for few days

Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,

Ok, thank you for your further explanation.

Yes, I still think you can try cortisone for a few days and observe the changes. Try to keep good local hygiene and avoid contact with any possible irritant agent (that aggravates the rash).

All the best!
