Have Pimples In Arm Which Is Itchy And Spreads Through The Body. No Medication Till Now. What Can This Be?
on my arms I have pimples that itch like crazy, seems if they open they spread withnin the area, start out as red like boils then turn into whiteheads. If you break them open a clearer liquid and blood comes out, also getting blisters between the fingers., I am guessing a possible allergy but can not determine as to what i work in the automotive industry. does not seem contageous had it for 2 years now

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Itchy rash with boil like lesion can be associated with an allergic condition as you have mentioned.
Another possibility is scabies. Though it may not last of years but your lesions are suggestive of this condition.
Take some antihistamine and apply calamine lotion.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.

please meet a dermatologist, for final diagnosis as treatment of both conditions is totally different.
Allergy is non contagious but scabies can spread.
Thank you
