Q. I have a recurring rash, but on different places every time. What could this be?
Hi 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.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
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 few clear images of the lesion, one in the close-up view and the other involving the body part affected.

Thank you doctor,
There is no itching. I have not been to a dermatologist before since it never caused a problem. I just wonder what it is. I have not used any medication for this. The photo is from my right foot. The last one was of my right hand. It usually takes a couple of months before it fades away. Now, I have just this lesion. The one on the arm is almost gone. It was hard to take a better photo.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- It looks like eczema. Consider the application of an intense moisturizer like Venusia Max Cream.
- I also suggest using Flutivate cream (Fluticasone 0.05%) 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.
