If it is: recurrent and completely goes away look for CONTACT..for example if you wear gloves and come in contact with something you are allergic to..the FOREARMS will react "sparing" your hands.. Perhaps its a SOAP you use to wash your hands and forearms..the hands often are "spared" after contact with an allergen.. Hope this helps Dr Z

Visual DX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
