What Do Rashes On The Forearms Indicate?
Hi, I am an RN, do utilization review for a major hospital. Have been taking naproxyn 600mg 1 tab q12h for about 3 weeks. About a week ago I developed a rash to both forearms that looks a little like eczema but itches a great deal. I stopped the naproxyn yesterday and have been using Aveno lotion. The rash first developed on my left arm but is also now on my right forearm Any suggestions.
