See Your Doctor: Your rash suggests a condition called Cutaneous Mastocytosis; excess mastocyte cells accumulate usually in skin &amp; release histamine; causing itching, hives, &amp; more. Can occur as single or multiple lesions, involved skin is darker in color. Stroking or other mechanical trauma to skin can cause symptoms to flare-up. Occurs in children &amp; ages 30-49 yrs.  See doctor for correct diagnosis &amp; treatment.

Question 2

i've had a bumpy non-itchy circular rash on the upper inner part of both my arms for a year now, any idea what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Rashes: rashes really can not be diagnosed over the computer and need to be examined in person to get the best diagnosis for the best treatment.  A guess, even though it is not itchy, would be a fungal infection (Tinea Corporis).

Accepted Answer

I : I advise you to see your primary care doctor or a dermatologist. You may be dealing with an allergy, eczema, dermatitis, bug bites, etc. It is difficult to say without an actual exam. In the meantime try hyrdrocortisone cream or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for itching.
Take care.

Question 5

Lots of causes: for your rash. Commonly, allergic rash present as itchy
bumps . Yeast, bacteria or ringworm can also occur. Shingles are usually localized and painful bumps.  Less common are Lupus or drug reaction. Please  consult dermatologist.

Question 6

a week ago, i had an iv in my arm. yesterday, this rash showed up. it's painful and itchy. could it be related to the iv or is it something different?

Accepted Answer

From the tape: Most likely an allergic contact reaction to the glue in the tape which kept your IV in place.  Try some Hydrocortisone cream.

Question 7

pimple rash itchy on arms spreading?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: Folliculitis is often seen in otherwise healthy people, it's easily curable in most cases and frequently clears on its own without treatment, though it may require ongoing maintenance therapy.
Antibacterial washes such as benzoyl peroxide are often used to treat folliculitis, and resistant cases may need antibiotic pills to clear the skin.

Question 9

i have a rash on my left arm only... its not itchy just ugly any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

A biopsy needed: any "rash" which is asymptomatic, recent or long standing and not associated with any event, product use or exposure warrants a visit to your dermatologist who might recommend a biopsy.

Question 10

i have a rash on my arm only in spot its not spreading but its very itchy ?

Accepted Answer

Hello: That might be an allergic reaction, try to remember if you used something different or ate something not usual. If the itchy continues you can try to take an antihistaminic pill.

The more important thing here is to determine what caused the reaction.

Thank you
