Hello,

You are suffering from itchy rash that bleeds on the antecubital space. You should not touch, pop or scratch the rash, it will bleed and the infection will spread. This rash should be clinically examined and more history obtained for diagnosis and possible treatment. Take care of your hygiene and apply locally ointment hydrocortisone on the affected area to get rid of itching.

Your symptom is indicative of atopic dermatitis. No cure has been found for atopic dermatitis. But self-care measures and symptomatic treatment can relieve itching and prevent new outbreaks. You are suggested to avoid the use of harsh soaps, chemical lotions and perfumed beauty / body products. Moisturize your skin regularly, and apply medicated creams or ointments. Dermatitis or atopic dermatitis if detected may need treatment with anti- staphylococcal therapy. Stay away from addictions and do not share your toiletries.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
