How Can Painful Acne On The Arms Be Treated?

I have painful chronic/recurring breakouts on both arms from wrist to elbow that present as large pimple like bumps that are very tender to the touch. They eventually become itchy and break opened. The contain almost clear liquid. The feel like large acne or pimples but have no hard center or lump. Most scab over and heal but re occur in the same exact spot a week later been happening for several months. Bumps occur in almost the exact places on both arms. Inside forearms forearm right at elbow forearm near wrist

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. If you send a picture of the rash then it will be more helpful. Taking antihistamines like zyrtec(cetirizine) and using calamine lotion for local application will be helpful. You should also do a blood routine investigation, VDRL , Hbsag and HIV tests to be on safe side.
Thanks.
