I have had a rash that occasionally disappears and reappears near either of the insides of my elbows. i forgot when it first appeared, but it's been years, and it doesn't itch. should i still be concerned?

: This location is characteristic of atopic dermatitis or eczema. Mild cases may not be itchy. Do you have asthma or hay fever? Family history? Can you identify triggers of the rash? The cause can be elusive. Cortisone type ointments should help. A dermatologist can advise you best.
