What Causes Itchy Rash On The Inner Elbow?

When I woke up yesterday morning, I had a very itchy rash in my inner elbows. It appeared a little red and felt slightly raised, similar to a heat rash. I applied medicated powder to it, and it didn't bother me the rest of the day. This morning the itchy rash was back again when I awoke. Again I applied the powder. What might be the cause of this rash?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a heat rash.

I suggest using Calamine lotion for local application.

I also recommend using Loratadine for the itching.

Aloe vera fel can be helpful in treating the condition.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
