i have a itchy bumpy rash

the rash showed up on my fore arms and is clusters of little red bumps and they itch. now its on my side. could it be an allergy?

Hello,

Thank you for your question. It's possible you have contact dermatitis which is an allergic response to something that touched or got on your skin.

Usual treatment would be a topical anti-itch cream. I love like Chikkie Spot Soother. It's gentle but works well. I like it better than typical cortisone creams because it won't damage the skin.

If you have small blisters, this could be a sign of Shingles or chicken pox virus. This is must be treated with oral medication like Valtrex.

If your rash doesn't clear up in a few days after using anti-itch creams, I strongly suggest you visit your doctor.

Thanks,
