What Does Contagious Red Rash After After Water Sports Indicate?
I was in Mexico swimming and rub up against a peer post form a dock while snorkeling, my left arm rubbed up against it and with in 1 day i have a red rash about 1/8 round with a small black dot in the middle of it. and now has spread to my husband hand 1 week after we got back from Mexico. My rash hasn't spread but isn't getting any better.
The rash could be an irritant contact dermatitis or a papular urticaria. You could apply an antibiotic cream and take an antihistamine tablet initially. But, you should consult your Dermatologist as soon as possible to come to a diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.
