Suggest Treatment For Red Spots On The Arms

I am a dialysis patient and have had Moes surgery on my nose. However several red spots are emerging on my access arm. There are only a few on other parts of my body. Why are they mostly on my access arm? Is it because of the increased amount of blood? I would be greatful for an answer and how can I fight them off.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone and higher antihistamines like hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
