Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red itchy spots on the finger and arms which can occur due to eczema like cosmetics products, pollens, certain viruses and bacteria, weather, food like nuts and seafood. It could be due to hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep yourself away from open environment. You should use air condition and continue taking anti histamine like benadryl and apply cold compresses to affected area and apply moisturizer. If condition doesn't get improve or get worse then consult allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor will take history and try to find out the trigger factor . Doctor may order allergy test . Doctor may give adrenaline short or may hospitalize .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
