What Does An Itchy Rash On The Bend Of The Elbow Indicate?
I have a rash in the bend of my left elbow, it is very red and itchy. I have had shingles in the past and they always appear on my left arm, shoulder, back area. My last bout with them I also had the rash further down my arm. I have had thi rash for several weeks and have tried various creams etc. with not much relief. Now it is starting to have a slight burning sensation along with the itch, and has spread slightly. Can this be dermatitis?
