Redness, Itching Behind Ears, On Shins And Elbows. Applied Cortisone Cream. Help
For a month I have had red itchy almost pimple like rashes that started behind my ears on shins and are spreading on elbows etc. it's almost like they appear out of nowhere, start itching and within a few minutes a red bump like rash forms. Have been putting topical cortisone cream which alleviates the itch a little however it dries it out and the rash turns light brownish but still stays there for a while. Help!
hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thank you for your query
it seems like allergic one or paplular urticaria you need to take anti histaminic medicine
apply good moisturizer and sun screen lotion over skin
wear full cotton cloths
do not use very hot water to bath ,instead use warm water only .
better to consult dermatologist if not get better
i hope i answered your query
It may not be wise to use strong steroids for prolonged periods...
Things apart from allergy should be considered - in view of the distribution
A dermatologist consultation is a must.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
