Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of red rash with tiny bumps on the side of the wrist which seems to be due to contact dermatitis. Well, there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in a query like an allergic reaction, psoriasis, skin infection, fungal infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you keep your skin clean and dry, protect it from the sun. If the condition doesn't get well then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment.

Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate the body. You should apply only petroleum jelly and take an antihistamine like benadryl. Avoid touching or pricking rashes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
