Suggest Medication For Red Rashes And Bumps In The Elbow Region

I have developed a red welt like rash with tiny clear bumps within the red areas, very itchy. They started on the inside areas of the elbows, a couple on the underside of one arm and an area on my neck. I have tried antifungal and hydrocortisone cream with no effects at all

Hi,

The rash on anticubital area and neck which is very itchy would be most probably irritant or allergic contact dermatitis. There may be some reason of contactants like soap,dust,housedust,housedust mite,pollen, cosmetics,deodorants,clothes, wool,pollutants..etc. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. Antihistaminics like levocetirizine and steroid in tappering dose may imrove the condition. Apply mild steroid with antibiotic cream. Avoid soap bath. You may be benifitted. I hope you yot my answer.

Thanks.
