I've always been prone to mild-moderate skin complaints and was an eczematous child, have had really persistent athletes foot and suffer in the heat with blisters on fingers and feet - varying diagnoses for the same thing over the years so could be pompholyx? More athlete's foot? Dishydrotic eczema? Cowpox? 'Idiopathic pruritis' (doc speak for 'weird itchy rash we can't identify', as far as I can tell from the root words)?
This is my latest. It's a patch of itchy red spots/patches on my inner arm, almost certainly something to do with where I rest my arm on my desk at work and/or where I cross my arms when asleep. It flares up and dies down but never fully goes away - it's been there for nearly 3 years and itches like mad. It's never bad enough to brave the horrendous booking system at the GP and the pharmacist is vague about it. It can be soothed but not cured with dermol, but burns with hydrocortisone or with anti-fungal cream; no difference at all with oat baths etc. I've done my best. Any suggestions from the photo? Thanks in advance.
