Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy and dry rashes on arms along with blood diarrhea, Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis , allergic , eczema , psoriasis , warts , chickenpox or scabies. It seems it is mainly it is due to dehydration. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , allergy test along with skin patch test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory , corticosteroid ointment , crotamiton or ivermectin . For now apply cold compresses , do not apply any cosmetic product and protect your skin from direct sunlight .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
