Suggest Treatment For Red Blotches On Forearms

Hello, I have recently noticed that my firearms have become very easily marked with bleeding under the skin causing red blotches under the skin, no real bruising, just the bleeding under the skin. These said issues happen very easily with a minor bump causing this issue. I am a type 1 diabetic for over fifty years, I take Lisinopril, chlorthalidone, amlodipine and I am 56 years of age.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red blotches on forearms which are due to allergic reaction or body's response to external stimuli which can be a allergen. There are number of factors that can cause this like milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish ,Medicines , Insect bites and stings, Pollen and Touching something to which you are allergic such as latex. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to try to figure out what exactly causing red blotches in your case , give cold compresses to affected area to get rid of itching , take benadryl and consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis doctor will take history and prescribe steroid medicines .
