He started getting it when he started puberty but its gotten worse, he's in sports and will be a freshman this year.

Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Healthcare Magic.
As per your query your son has rash on arms and legs which is quite severe. In oyur query you have not mentioned the age of your son, since how long the rash is present and any associated features with the rash. So it would be quite difficult for us to give you closest possibility. Anyway for the rash you can give oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine under medical advise and apply calamine lotion 3-4 times a day.
Rash per say is not a contraindication for the wart removal so you can go for the same. As you go for wart remoel by a dermatologist the rash part can also be taken care of at the same time.
Hope these information will help. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help.
"With good health wishes"
