Have Rash On The Wrist. No Medication Till Now. What Could Be Cause And The Solution For This?

i have a rash on my wrist for about 5 days now. It doesn't itch or have any strange sensation at all. look like a burn you'd get while cooking. But it's not. It seems to have a tiny blister forming. The rash is more brownish tint then red. Any ideas of what this may be? Also, I have not and not wear jewelry on that wrist. i was concerned about shingles or scabbies (but highly unlikely) i do not have any other noticeable rash or markings anywhere. I'm thinking i may have gotten this at the gym. this part of my wrist touches shared mats.

Thank you

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
From your description, it seems to me that you have an irritant contact dermatitis to some external irritant. Did you use a new watch? Did you have any exposure to plants or any chemicals? These can cause an irritant reaction. You could use a topical steroid preparation for about 10-14 days.
Hope this helped you.
Take care.
