Having Red Feverish Rash On Arm. Some Spots Have Turned To Blotches. Is It A Matter Of Concern?
I have a red feverish rash on my arm. It looks like poison ivy but doesn't itch at all. I noticed it 2 days ago but thought it was just tiny cuts from rolling down the hills in the field. I did have cuts all I've my body where skin was exposed but they have healed and this rash like thing on my arm is still there and it has gotten worse. In the past day the spots was from being about 2mm in diameter to about a centimeter. Some spots have turned to blotches more. What I don't understand about all this is that it is only on my left side, a few spots on my upper thigh and many spots/ blotches on my upper arm. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about this or not.
Yes, I would prefer you visit your doctor at the earliest as various conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, various tick-borne conditions, and many others occur with rashes similar to yours.
Your history of a visit to the hills is worrying, and as this rash is a progressing one, I would request you to visit a doctor at the earliest. A skin specialist first and if required a neurologist on recommendation later.
I hope this helps.
Take care.
