What Causes A Sudden Burn Like Spot On The Arm?

Hi I just recently went to urgent care to do a quick check on what I have on my arm the said it was burns but I don t remember burning my self is the weird thing. I m kind of freaked out because it looks like another spot or burn thing is forming what could it be. The other thing forming could just be a mosquito bite I picked at what could it be.

Hello,

Sudden burn or blister type eruption over arm can be a sequence of low grade bacterial infection where there is breach in the continuity of the skin epidermis layer. My guidelines at present:
- Washing with antiseptic liquid
- Local application of ice and turmeric paste for Ayurvedic healing properties
- Avoid itching, tight clothes and exposure to direct high sunlight
- Discuss the need of antibiotics with your primary care provider
- Tablet ibuprofen for primary pain relief after lunch if there is no history of drug sensitivity

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
