Is it just on the single arm affected? Any other symptoms? Any lines between the webbing of your fingers? How quickly did it come on and what have you used on it so far?

It’s on my legs and chest also .
Thank you

It looks dry. Can you try moisturising, moisturising and more moisturising? Use at least double what you think you need and then use some more again. It would be useful for the Dr to know if this helps improve things

Have you taken some antihistamine? If not, get some.

Does anyone else at home have it? Its hard to see the details on your pic, but it might be scabies. Is the itch worse at night?

My first thought was scabies. You'll have a heck of a lot of washing to do!

Yes it is itchy at night and I am on two antihistamines for years for nasal allergies .

now I’m afraid it’s scabies ! Thank you guys
