Suggest Treatment For Itching On Calves,forearms And Neck

Not sure what type of skin itch I have . Doesn t really look like scabies. The itch starts as a flat red blotch. It can be pimple-like. It isn t between fingers, in the groin, orat the wrists, mostly on my fronts of calves, forearms, and a few on my neck. Help, please.

Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and it could be an eczematous rash. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas and take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine depending on the intensity of itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney,
