Allergy or Infection?

Asked for Female, 37 years

Some itchy reddish rashes appeared on my arm yesterday. I feel like these are getting worse. What could be the reason? Is it some kind of allergy or infection?

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear this. Do you have any fever or sore throat? Do these rashes leak any fluid/blood from them? If yes, what color? Is it painful? What do you mean they are “getting worse', how? Where all are they present except arms? Is it flat or are there boils too?
Kindly share clear photos of the affected area with us.

Take 1 tablet softin at night for 1week. See if this improves. Apply calamine lotion on these and avoid itching using nails as this can infect the rash. Please share photos and details of rash for further treatment.

For further help, we advise booking an appointment with the best dermatologists in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/dermatologist
