Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Burning, Red, Itchy Rashes On Arms, Chest And Inner Thighs?
Hi! My symptoms are: very warm, red rash on my inner arms, chest and inner thighs along with red face. This rash gives me a burning, itchy feeling that can be more sever one time then the next and can last a few minute to an hour or so, then disappears. I have been unable to place the cause to food or beverage. It only seems to happen during the day and the weather (heat) seems to have nothing to do with it.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. If the symptoms continue, you may need steroid shots.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
