Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It is very difficult to diagnose an itchy rash like lesion without a clinical examination. The various possibilities of a round itchy lesion is varicose dermatitis (occurs over a varicose vein), discoid eczema (this may be both the dry or wet type), asteatotic eczema or a variant of discoid eczema over dry skin, gravitational eczema, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis (if you work outdoors or somewhere where some chemical or plant or any thing else comes in contact with your arm), or even psoriasis and tinea corporis (a fungal infection).
All the above mentioned conditions can worsen on scratching and have a recurring course.  Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. You will need to consult a skin specialist regarding this. Take care!
