What Can Be Done For Itching Patches On Arms After ECG?
I underwent an ECG about 4 years ago and since then I ve had marks left on the upper portion of my arms due to those patches. Initially I thought that they ll go with time but they haven t at all, in fact they re really itchy because my skin is generally dry even though I drink reasonable amount of water. What can I do?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have the contact dermatitis for the patch or the gel used while taking the E.C.G.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine,montelecast,mild steroid, antibiotic, and a mixed steroid ointment.
Avoid taking sea foods, fish, egg, and some other foods allergic to you.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
