Hi,

Have you had any other allergies earlier? Does this happen on the inside or the outside of your arm or both? Have you noticed any association with common things such as food, sun or cosmetics? Which anti allergics have you tried yet?

This can be  allergy, but an allergy specialist would be the best person who can understand what this could be. You may try cetrizine or loratidine, apply calamine lotion and mild cosmetics in the meantime to help your itching.

Hope this helps. Let us know what your doctor says and if you have any other queries.

Best regards.
