How Can severe Rashes And Bumps On The Elbow Be Treated?

The rash or bumps started on the inside of my upper arm several years ago. Between arm pit and elbow. Started small and then grew to a line like rash that was just in that one spot. Last year I noticed that I was getting what looked like little bruises on the top of my foot and on my calf and knee, then on my elbows and a little spot on my back. I noticed that they eventually turned into the little rash that looked similar to what was under my arm. Most times circular but sometimes like under my arm which is a line (mostly). The rash under my arm is getting more pronounced and noticeable. The others that have shown up are still faint and not very noticeable. A new spot will show up maybe once every 3-6 months and then will progress very slowly. Under arm is still the worst spot. ???? Sorry forgot to say it does not itch at all.
