Suggest Cure For Skin Rash
Rash that comes when in the sun. It is located in the in the crease of the elbow, where the arm bends. Also it comes and goes, will appear as it is completely gone, but returns when the crease of the elbow is exposed to sunlight. After being in the sun for a long period of time, the rash is dry, burns, and is shaped like a heart. What kind of rash could this be?

Hi,
Could be either a fungal infection or an eczematous dermatitis. I suggest you to try an OTC topical antifungal, e.g., Clotrimazole 1% cream for a few days to see if it responds to antifungal cream.
In addition, I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine, e.g., Cetrizine tablet once a day for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
