How to manage recurring rash in different parts of the body?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have a skin rash on my legs or arms all the time. There is only one rash at a time and at different places every time. What could this be? I have had this issue for at least 10 years and maybe more.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have seen the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). But, please let me know the following:

Is this rash associated with itching?
Have you consulted a dermatologist in the past?
What topical medications have you used for this?
The clinical photograph attached is of which body part?
How many days does it take to resolve?
Do you have any medical history?
At present, do you have this single lesion?

Please send a few clear images of the lesion, one in the close-up view and the other involving the body part affected.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

It looks like eczema (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Consider the application of an intense moisturizer like Venusia Max Cream. I also suggest using Flutivate cream (Fluticasone 0.05 percent) once daily only over the lesion till it resolves. It is a mild steroid. Skin biopsy for histopathology can be done from the lesion to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.
