I have a rash on my inner arms and inner foreaarm that look similar to pimples but with no head... They appear randomly and usually dont itsch.. However I was recently on vacation in Arizona and noticed they came back and got worse on inner arm and upper ribcage and started to itch after I had been in a hot tub.

hi there.
1. by your description, your concern may be pityrosporum folliculitis.
2.it's due to candidial yeast infection of hair follicles.
3. you can try lulifin lotion once daily bed time for 30 consecutive days along with any clotrimazole dusting powder twice daily as maintenance.
4. avoid hot and humid conditions
5. have 2-3 litres of water daily.
if there is no response within couple of weeks, then have a consultation with a dermatologist near by you for physical examination.
this will help you.
