Suggest Remedy For Rashes On Arms And Shoulders While On Clotrimazole And Betamethasone

Posted on Thu, 7 Jan 2016

Question: I am nervous because I got a rash on my front of my shoulders and spot on my arm. I do have eczema and take Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropiomate Cream. the eczema comes and goes. I am not sure if I was using to much and cause an allergic reaction. the spots turned black and i am not sure if its from scratching them. does it look like that cancer that comes with Aids?

Brief Answer:
Most likely due to eczema.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and images and understand your concerns.
It is most likely due to eczema changes and not due to carcinoma.
But just keep an eye over it,if it will persist,color changes, painful and increased in size than consult your treating physician to rule out carcinoma.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.

Hello dear,
Sorry for a very long delay in my response.
I can understand your concerns but kaposi sarcoma does not look like this ( please let me know if you are having any history of exposure).
Eczema can occur at this site also.
Hope you found this useful.
Good luck.
