What Might Cause Itching, Redness And Numbness Around A Small Cut On My Arm?
went into the woods for work a couple times the past 2 weeks. Came out one day with what looked like a small cut on my arm. It's always been kind of itchy, but recently it's gotten a lot more itchy and the skin around it is red, tough, and a little numb. Have any idea what might be wrong with it?

Hello
Facial skin lesion, if this is not the wound or injury by any sharp object then it might be the insect bite. Moreover it is being suggestive if the symptom of itching is there. Beside this it might be due to some allergic inducing plant. Care needs to be taken for infection, antihistamine can be used for itching.
Hope I have answered your query,
