What Is The Remedy For Itchy Rash?

I have a rash that is on my left shin. It is bumpy and only itches on occasion. It keeps looking like it's getting better but then spreads. I originally got an injury in the same area that didn't seem to heal an after it did these few little bumps appeared on top and underneath it. Through time it's been several weeks the area keeps getting larger. I did spend allot of time in a warm pool in Palm Springs when I had the original sore. Now my chest also seems bumpy and my elbows have also aquired an itchy rash.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a contact dermatitis. Based on the fact that the initial sore began in a pool,it can be a chlorine rash. I suggest using an antihistamine to relieve the itching. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
