What Causes Red Itchy Rashes On Underside Of Arm?
I recently developed small red rashes in three separate areas along the underside of my left arm. They re itchy and rough at the tips. First noticed one area last weekend, but recently has spread. No idea how this started. Contacted my family doctor, but he s booked until Wednesday, but would like to know what this is as soon as possible.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The rashes may be due to dermatitis (inflammation of the skin ) or may also be due to infection such as fungal infection.
The use of a mild topical steroid cream may help relieve the itching along with an oral anti histamine till you are seen by your doctor.
I hope this helps
