Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does A Red And Itchy Rash On The Arms, Buttocks And Neck Indicate?
My husband has a red itchy bumpy rash on arms buttocks neck face and waisteline. Also has swelling in his feet and legs, scaling skin on legs and are dark dark red itchy from knee caps down, like stasis dermatis, and loss of circulation. He is a smoker and drinker. Elevating his legs takes the swelling down but not much. This has been going on for a week and a half. What is wrong with him?
It could be eczema. As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
