Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Two nights ago while doing laundry (including picking up old clothes in the bottom of my closet floor to wash) I noticed a red area on the crease of my elbow that was almost a perfect square, 1.25 inches or so. Assuming it was a bug bite as bugs are common in my building, I ve tried Benadryl (no help), as well as hydrocortisone cream and caladryl. The creams help, but when I come back up my apartment the redness goes back to what it was at first. It doesn t itch but is warm to the touch. Only other detail worth mentioning is a few hours before I got furniture/wood stain on my arms and legs and used a wipe to try to get it off - maybe it reacted just on my elbow? I don t know. Help!!!
This can be due to stain allergy. Best treatment to allergy is to avoid it. You may get relief with tab allegra 120 mg once daily which you can start consulting your doctor.
If not relieved then you may need blood investigation and ultrasound examination.
