What Does An Itchy Rash On The Right Forearm Indicate?

Yes. I have an itchy rash on my right forearm. This wasn t very until Friday. The rash started about 10 days ago. One of my Dr saw it Fri and asked about changes in diet detergent etc and nothing has changed. Last night it started itching more and it is spreading both the itching and rash. He said it wasn t shingles or poison ivy. He is not my primary Dr. Last night it was so bad I couldn t sleep. I found a Benedril but I only have 2. Any idea?

Hello,

I think this can be scabies a parasite infection. If you send me a photo of the rash I can help you better. You can use permethrin cream to apply over body Let it for 14 hours and then wash it.

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

Take care
