Could Itchy Arms And Legs With Bright Red Marks After Scratching Indicate Eczema?
Hi, for a while now my arms and legs are always itchy, sometimes i even get bright red marks after i scratched, it depends on how itchy it is. I am worried that it's to do with eczema because they itch all the time. After i scratch i feel better then it starts again about 5 minutes later. I know this is not to do with my body being hot because it has happend hot and cold weathers. I would love it if you could suggest and reasons of what thia could be.

Hi
You seem to be developing a photo rash.
This is particularly severe over the sun exposed sites of the body.
The rash is this case tends to be more severe upon exposure to sunlight.
You should avoid direct sun exposure.
Wear full sleeved clothes.
Apply I sunscreen daily.
Use a topical steroid cream to overcome the eczema at the moment.
Year cotton clothes.
