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.
The skin on my right elbow/arm area has been itching for 2 - 3 weeks. I was in Hawaii for a week and got a bit of sun so I thought it might be sun related. I ve been putting Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion and/or calamine lotion to help stop the itch but it won t go away. It is only in this area. What do you think might be causing this? Should I make an appointment to see my general PA or a dermatologist?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, before going to see the dermatologist you could try "Mometasone cream" for this along with some moisturizing agent which contain lactic acid, liquid paraffin, urea, propelling glycol, if these fails to responds then you can go to see the dermatologist, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
