Square Rashes On Legs And Arms. Treating It With Hydrocortisone, Clotrimazole And Puffs Soaked In Alcohol But No Result
I am in Hawaii and after the first night developed a square rash on each arm and 2 on my leg. The locals say they are mosquito bites but they are about 1cm x1cm and nothing seems to make them go away. Hydrocortisone, clotrimazole and puffs soaked in alcohol have all failed. What should I do??
You seem to have developed eczematous skin lesions. I would recommend you to stop using alcohol over there lesions. You can simply the plain water or lukewarm saline water for cleaning the skin lesions. Since the steroid that you are using is not helping, I would advise you to use a more potent topical steroid over the affected areas. Or you should see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis if all this does not help.
