by cat600, May 17, 2008 09:54AM
about 4 weeks ago i noticed a rash on the cavles of my legs ( it was not itchy) about 1 week after that i started noticing risen, clear, itchy spots on my arms,stomach, and legs (not on the rash) and when i scratched it, they would have a little clear or yellowish liquid and them scab the next day.  Could you help me in trying to find out what this is?

Hi,

This could be allergic reactions to some unknown substance, eczema, dermatitis or skin hypersensitivity or secondary to some insect bites or cosmetic products, etc.

Are you allergic to any specific substances? Have you taken any medications for the lesions?

You should keep the areas clean, wear cotton socks to avoid sweating, use a powder to keep the areas dry , use calamine lotion at the sites. Oral antihistamine medications would help if the lesions are itchy. Wear lose, comfortable and clean clothes and maintain good personal hygiene.

If your symptoms persist it would be best to consult a skin specialist because nothing can be said with surety without a proper clinical examination.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
