What Causes Itchy Rashes With Red Bumps And Dry Patches Across The Torso?
I have a rash on my torso and a small amount on my arm.. Boss says it s poison ivy yet I ve had it for more than a week and there s no blistering.. Very itchy from time to time. Some areas are small spots but other areas are lines of bumps with redness and dry patches. Any suggestions? Maybe just allergic reaction but I have no idea of any allergies

Hi,
It could be an allergic eruption like hives. As the first line of management, you can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief. Also, try low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone also.
If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
