Red, Itchy Rashes On Skin, Become Brown And Heal, On Thighs, Arms, Back, Treatment
I ve had itchy rashes on my skin for many weeks now. It starts off as a red rash and is very itchy. Then they sort of flatten out and become brownish in colour, still a bit itchy at this point and then heal. I have them on the sides of my thighs both inner and outer and on my arms and back and abdomen areas. My GP has tried treatment for scabies , antibiotic ointment and even steroids but so far nothing has worked.

Your skin rash may be Miliaria rubra or heat rash. You could try the following measures-
1. You should avoid hot humid work place and bed room.
2. You can better choose a well-ventilated/ air conditioned room.
3. Take cool water bath Twice daily.
4. Take- Tablet ATARAX 25mg three times daily as your need
5. Apply calamine lotion on your whole body (except face) at night for 1 week
Visit/ consult online dermatologist 1 week later.
