I've what I can only describe as a 'stress rash' on the bend of one of my elbows. I've had it for a couple of months and it's just getting worse and spreading and more inflamed.

I've tried hydrocortisone and an antihistamine cream but I can't seem to stop the scratching. I've covered it but I still go at it, so much so I've bruised my arm a few times.

Any recommendations to try please?

Might it be a fungal rash? Have you asked a pharmacist to have a look and recommend something?

That looks excema like to me. Try taking anti histamine pills and using the cream. STOP scratching. Think about what might have triggered it…new washing powder, soap, clothes etc. Could it be dust mites in your bedding?

If this doesnt work then you might need a prescription cream to knock it in the head, but really STOP scratching, that will be 80% of the battle
