What Causes Itchy Bumpy Rashes On The Upper Arm?

I have a super itchy skin rash on my upper right arm. Sometimes it s fine and seems to go away but then it comes back in the same spot. It itches really bad and bumps appear. It s red right not but I m not sure where it s coming from as the rash is in a random spot. Any thoughts?

Hi,

I am sorry for the health problems you are going through.

You say to have super itchy spot in the upper right arm. Can you please send a photo of that itchy spot to me? So I can evaluate the redness myself?

Do you notice any site similar to insect bite? Any white headed pimple?

It could be a case of chronic urticaria if persistent for more than 6 weeks.

For the moment, I advise to:
- avoid scratching the affected area
- take oral antihistamine (e.g. loratadine or benadryl)
- apply anti itch cream locally

All the best.
