Rashes On Stomach, Forearm, Shoulder And Upper Thigh, Bad Itching. How Can One Recover?
Sponge like rash about size of hand on my stomach. Hurts a little to the touch and has a mild itch. Skin is like Jello, very sponge-like. Can't remember anything I've done differently recently. Started on right side of belly and within hours covers all. Have had for 2 days. Now am getting other areas, not as big, on shoulder, forearm, and upper thigh. Any ideas?

Hi,
The rash you are having is because of :
- contact dermatitis = new detergent, or skin cream or soap or bath gels or cologne you have recently used
- impetigo = bacterial infection of the skin (need topical and oral antibiotic treatment)
- fungal infection
You should contact a dermatologist for final diagnosis and treatment.
Hope it helped!
