Are Red Bumps On Arms Due To RSD/CRPS?

Hi I have RSD/CRPS. I have had it for 9 yrs in both arms. The later stages are sores on the arms. they do look like the sores I have seen in pics of RSD/CRPS. I have red bumps on both arm that itch. I have read that maybe it could be KP or ringworm. Or could it be my illness?

Hello,

I need to see the picture of the lesion to comment further. However according to your symptoms it looks like a fungal/irritant contact dermatitis.

You can use OTC steroids/antifungal creams for this purpose. If its not settling i suggest you to visit your doctor for detailed checkup and treatment.

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

Take care

Regards,
