Suggest Remedies For Itchy Rashes On Upper Arms And Neck

Tuesday I began to itch and get mosquito appearance bites in some of the rash, other areas looked like welts. It was on my back some, coming around the ribs and to above my breast. Also on my upper arms and neck. Itched very much early evening, and about bedtime seemed to have disappeared. I did take a 2 benedryl. On Wednesday at 5 a.m. it appeared on my chin and by nose and itched, gone by mid morning. Nothing rest of day Wednesday, a couple spots on Thursday then disappeared. Yesterday, Friday, late afternoon it came back, itched bad into the evening late hours, took 1 benedryl to try to calm it, and a little itchy this morning.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes on upper arms and neck which occurs due to bug bites and allergic reaction as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to cover this area on exposure to sunlight. You should apply TAN CARE with spf 26. Avoid itching and pricking rashes and apply calamine lotion. You should apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory medications course. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
