What Causes An Itchy Rash On The Forearm?
Hi , my forearms have a very itchy rash that started on one arm then spread to the other. it kind of looks like hives but I m not sure. nothing is stopping the itch. I ve tried cortisone cream benydril cream and pills. so far not much help. I ve had something like this before behind my knees but I m not sure its the same thing. before on my legs it started out looking like a bug bite. this started out like hives, but now cover my forearms. its awful .!

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to allergic dermatitis.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine.
I also suggest using Calamine lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
