Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Itchy vesicular bumps on the forearms can be due to sensitivity to sun, allergy to anything being applied or being worn on the arms or due to any specific vesicular disease of the skin.
Yes you should definitely go and see the doctor and discuss with him your complaints so that complete work up can be done and management done accordingly.
Wish you good luck.
