What Causes Recurring Red Blotches On The Arm?

I periodically get red blotches on my left forearm, hardly any on my right. I worked construction for many years as an heavy equipment operator. The left door to my excavator was always open, and exposed my left arm to the elements. Could this be a form of skin cancer?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi..have been through ur query carefully ur complains suggest that u r having dermatitis due to irritant at ur professional place.
first of all avoid contact with the irritant further.
if u can't change ur place then do alternative measures like cover ur arm.apply some emoillents during working hours.
emollient can be white petroleum jelly.
apply beta methasone ointment twice daily for 3 weeks.
use any good moisturizing cream or lotion twice daily on ur arm.
if ur arm is itchy take tab loratidine 10mg at night.
I hope it 'll work.in case of any problem u r welcome to ask further question on health care magic.
thanks.
