What Is The Remedy For Rash In Arms And Wrists?
Was working in the yard today when I came in I realized itchiness on the inside I bother my arms just above my wrists and a rash. But now 6 hrs later it s more of a burning pin needle feeling. Now the rash has moved to the front of my arms with the same feeling. Also I have the feeling on both sides of my shin and on top of my hand and fingers but not aware of a rash in those places

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes in arms and wrists which seems to be due to allergic reaction and could be due to venomous bite.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply little pressure on that area with cotton dipped in warm water and try to ooze out the pus properly if any. Take antibiotics orally to prevent further infection. Use calamine lotion on that to resolve itchiness .Your symptoms will start resolving in 3-5 days. If it keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once to find out any hidden cause for your symptoms. Apply betadine over area and clean that area properly with antimicrobial agent. Use of corticosteroid ointment is helpful.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
