A few days ago I developed a patch of a rash on the underside of my forearm. It does not itch. It looks like little red dots in about a 1.5 inches x 1 inch in diameter. It's not going away, I have no idea what it could be. Does this sound like anything?
As per your query you have symptoms of rash on forearm which is very common due to sun poisoning and as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction causes this. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry.
Avoid exposure to sunlight. Apply warm compresses with soaked towel. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test, and will start treatment accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
