Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching in the back and lower arms which seems to be dermatitis, eczema, systemic pathology, allergic reaction and side effects of drug.

Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated , keep yourself away from the allergens and start taking antihistamine like zyrtec or benadryl. If condition doesn't get better the consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , allergy test and physical examination. You should explain doctor regarding your family history of mother. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment or antibiotics like clindamycin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
