What Is The Red Itchy Rash On Forearm And Ear Along With Sore Throat?
I woke up this morning with a small bumpy rash on my forearm that looked a lot like poison ivy. After awhile I noticed that the skin behind my ear was itchy and had the same red rash. I haven t been in contact with any plants outside at all, in fact I have barely been outdoors in a week or more. I have not changed any lotions, soaps, or detergents. Earlier this week, I had an incredibly sore throat and was taking mucinex d for all the drainage. Any ideas what could be going on? It itches like crazy!!

hi there,
sudden itchy rash on multiple sites may indicate paederus dermatitis.
you can try hydrocortisone cream once daily bed time along with linical lotion as on required.
continue it for a week, if no response consult a dermatologist near by you for further examination.
if marked improvement noted, continue hydrocortisone cream until rash settles done.
this will help you.
