Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash on arm which seems to be due to allergic reaction, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, skin infection, and fungal infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wear loose clothes and avoid sharing clothes. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. Keep your skin clean and dry , protect it from sun. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. You should apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day. Avoid applying any cream or hard cosmetics on skin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
