Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes on the arms like red blotches which seems to be due to an allergic reaction, the side effect of a certain medicine or fungal infection.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you apply a topical antibacterial ointment. You should avoid sharing your clothes with someone and avoid taking anyone's clothes. You should take a course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep the area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keep on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. Also, take over the counter antihistamines like Zyrtec.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
