What Do Itchy Red Rashes On The Forearms Indicate?
I have a rash for the third time this year. It starts in small reddish, itching, kinda burning patches on both of my forearms. Today, I noticed 3 new patches on one of my hands so it seems to have started spreading. I also noticed that my right forearm is now almost one solid red rash, while the left forearm looks like many individual rashes. As I m examining myself, I see that it has spread to the crook of my elbow on both arms, and goes up about 3 inches above my elbow. I have tried hydro cortisone cream and Vaseline petroleum jelly which made it go away last two times ... treating it like excema but so far nothing has helped this time around. Please help me get rid of this rash because I have no money for a doctor as I do not have a full-time job right now. Any suggestions?

...i would like to tell you that rashes of your arm may be because of some factors....
.if you had administered medication drugs rashes may arise from allergy of these medications......
also if your skin contact with any corrosive material or allergen it may occur............
sometimes rashes follow high fever or bacterial or viral infection as his immune system begin to red of that infection and immune reaction occurs that leads to appearance of rashes and i think this is important may led to these symptoms ...........
it may also due to shingles as varicella zoster reactivation if stress or sun exposure and that may need clinical examination
so you need not to worry as it may be rsulted from viral infection and improvement will occur after treatment of infection
wish you healthy life
