A doctor has provided 1 answer
OTC Products first: 61 year old male with an area of constant itch on right forearm wonders what it could be but does not state if rash present. Consider simple Contact/ Irritation Dermatitis due to affected arm in contact with some surface or material that irritates it. Cosmetics for example. Eczema, insect bite, ringworm and other infections. Several OTC products available for itching.
