Hi,
The skin rash which is itchy on lower extremities and arms may be allergic in origin. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Avoid the contact with the suspected allergens.
And antihistaminics like Cetirizine may be taken until itching is reduced. Apply steroid cream on the affected areas. The steroid may be taken in the severe case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
