What Is The Cause Of Scratch Area On Foot And Arm?
I have a scratch areas that I know I have not been scratched! One on my foot one on my hand an one on my arm! My foot did itch but the other areas didn t! They are not sore or burn! Thought it could be a type of shingles but it has no blisters! Do you have any idea without looking what it could be?

Hi,
According to your complaints it seems to be paedrous dermatitis which is an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Cortisone cream on the affected area daily.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
