How Can Arm Rashes With Itching And Scab Marks Be Treated?
Hi. I have developed 2 different hickey-like rashes on each arm. One was sore to the touch and then got scabby. The one I noticed now is smaller on the inner part of my upper arm and doesn t hurt or itch, but I have also had itching on other parts of my arms randomly. And I have noticed little scabs/marks in other places on my arms. Are these bug bites of some sort?

Hi,
The rash could be papular urticaria. If you have similar kind of rash also on finger webs, abdomen and genital area, the diagnosis could be Scabies. The treatment of scabies is entirely different from that of papular urticaria. So, I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist to clinch the diagnosis and to initiate apt treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
