How Can Arm Rashes With Day Long Itching Be Treated?
I have a rash on my arms every morning that itches all day long but the rash somewhat disappears by mid morning. The Dr. gave me a steroid shot and prednizone thinking it was originally poison ivy but it continues to itch and break out mainly in the mornings.

Hi,
The rash seem to be that of Hives. Hives are recurrent and evanescent. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes. In addition to the soothing lotion I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab Cetrizine once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
