What Causes An Itchy Rash With Purple Spots On The Arm?
I have a itchy rash on my right arm that has a few purple flat spots. I have no fever but am getting a few more of those spots on my arm. T recently had a blood test and also blood pressure taken. Can you advise as to what it might be. It has been there for about a week.

Hello,
It is allergic dermatitis. You need antihistaminic as Cetirizine and steroid as prednisolone for a week. These are prescription drugs and you need a prescription of a local doctor to get these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Varinder Joshi , General & Family Physician
