Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
This looks like urticaria or hives. The swellings or wheals produced after itching can be pale (of skin color) or red. Urticaria is usually triggered by allergens, such as drugs, foods, insect bites, inhaled substances, in response to sunlight, cold, heat, stress, exercise, or a viral infection. Other common allergens are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, or cosmetics. Since you experienced an itch, just go over these possibilities in your mind. Something may strike you. In many cases, hives clear up themselves and don’t require diagnosis or treatment. However if they persists you may need to see a specialist called an allergist to determine what is causing the reaction.
Itchy localized rash can be due to allergic dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis, shingles, psoriasis, fungal infection like or Tinea corporis. You can apply calamine lotions or lotions containing camphor and menthol for a soothing effect. Change the antihistamine antiallergic you use. Steroid creams also help bring down inflammation and pain. Apply cool moist cloth to the affected areas. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage without examining the rash directly. Please consult a skin specialist. Take care!

Hey thank you so much for replying back to me my doctor said it looks like "pseudomonas folliculitis" But i can't remember being in a hot tub or pool or anything like that I personally have this on my arm for about a year an a half i do have a lot of stress i used to be on zoloft and stopped taking zoloft because i thought the rash started from that but apparently i'm off of zoloft for about a year and the rash is still there.. i do have a history and minor cases of psoriasis but my doctor said it's not that! she also diagnosed me today with Helicobacter pylori infection i don't know if that plays a role with the rash but maybe you would know.. I tried taking OLUX " it's a foam version of clabetasol steroid it didn't work i am usng bacitracin now and it's keeping it moist and flat... I don't know what to do i gues i am going to have to find an allergist.. My arm is hurting me ao much now it feels as if i'm going to lose my arm.. god forbid!!! Thank you though sooo much for taking the time out to respnd back to me it means much i really appreciate it!!
