Rash On Elbows And Back Of Arms, Red And Colorless, Itchy. Taking Benadryl. How To Get Rid Of It?

I developed a rash around my elbows and below on the back of my arms. Some are colorless some are red they itch and seem to respond to cortisone cream but I have had them for 5 days now. Heat seems to make them come out more. Also found some under arm around side of breast area? I am taking Benedryl once a day but I want to get rid of this

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi there,
your question needs more elaboration at this point as several conditions need to be ruled out before making a confirmed diagnosis.Also some nice and clean pictures of the involved areas would be of great help to recognise the condition.Many things can cause such type of rash with such a short history,
seborrhioec dermatitis
allergic contact dermatitis
papular urticaria
psoriasis
so i would suggest to see your GP or Dermatologist or contact a dermatologist here on the site for a live chat.
thanks very much and all the best.
