What Causes Non-itchy Rashes On Upper Arms, Inner Thighs And Buttock Cheeks?

Posted on Fri, 15 Jul 2016

Question: I have a non-itchy, non-burning rash on my upper arms, inner thighs, one spot on my butt cheek, and the bottom of my feet are hot when in shoes, sore to walk on, and the skin feels tight on my feet. It showed up first on my upper bicep (non-itchy, non-burning, no problems - just there), then went to inner thighs, and then went to the balls of my feet. Nothing in between my toes or toenails. Have tried all the over the counter athlete feet and fungal creams. Also went to Kroger's Little Clinic and they prescribed Fluconazole 150 mg tablet (have taken 4 tablets over the course of 4 weeks). All have only provided minor, temporary relief. I have also tried aloe vera and other hollistic remedies. Does not appear to be any change in the rash. Do you know what this is? What I can try to get rid of it?

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your history and it seems to be pityriasis rosea which is a self limiting viral infection .
I need to ask you few questions:
Did you have sore throat, cough or upper respiratory tract infection prior to the eruption?
Are you taking medicines for some other ailment?
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
