What Causes Red Rashes On The Arm?
For the past several months, I have had red splotches that would come and go on my left arm. My family doctor prescribed steroid cream. It really didn t seem to help much. Now, over the past few weeks, it has spread to my right arm and on the front of my thighs on both legs. I have been under a lot of stress. Could this be stress related?

Hello,
It may be due to dermatitis.
For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
Take tablet loratidine for itching.
In case of not getting relief you may require Dermatologist opinion.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Watch for symptoms like fever, severe itching
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
