What Does Intermittent Itchy Patch On Forearm Indicate?

Hello, Three weeks ago I developed a small intermittent itchy patch about the size of a half-dollar on the inside of my forearm midway between my elbow and wrist. It usually itches at night or just after a shower. There appears to be no discoloration, bumps, dryness or anything else that indicates a rash other than it is sometimes itchy. Any ideas what it might be?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of intermittent itchy patch on forearm. Need not to worry. You should apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like Benadryl twice a day. Avoid touching or pricking patch. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry, protect it from sun. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination and start treatment accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
