How Can Itchy Rashes On The Skin Be Treated?
HI. I am trying to determine what type of infection I have on my skin. I have developed a rash on my arms and legs. It is very itchy and sometimes oozes and is painful at times. Can you help to determine what it is and what type of treatment is needed to cure it? Also, any home remedies that I might try. Thank you.

Hi,
You could have any of these: eczema/psoriasis/allergic dermatitis/tinea to name a few.
Each of them has a different treatment modality. Home remedies will only give you a small and temporary relief.
I suggest you visit a dermatologist and get the lesions reviewed thoroughly for appropriate treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
