I have a rash or dry skin or something that is spreading over my upper body.?

First it was just on my left wrist, then it went away. Then it came on my elbow, and came back on my wrist (still left arm) now its on the side of my left arm pit and on the underside of my right fore arm. All in the last week or so. What can I do to stop the spreading?? It itches also. It looks like little bumps.|||Please go see a dermatologist. I suffered as you are for 10 months before going - boy was that dumb of me. It could be something as simple as a laundry detergent allergy to as severe as psoriasis, or whatever it is that I have that I can't spell, let alone pronounce. The more severe skin conditions can be controlled to some extent, and there is no need to suffer.|||did u recently change laundry detergent? if so that could be the cause. if not, go to the doctor, that is the only way to find out for sure what it is.|||I had something similar happen to me. It was on the back of


my legs. When I went to the doctor he said my follicles were


infected. He gave me a prescription for a wash to use daily


and a cream I applied two times a day. So check with your


doctor.|||Visit the skin rash page at the source below for info on many different types of skin rashes.|||Dry skin problems respond well to self-care measures, such as using moisturizers and avoiding long, hot showers and baths. If you have very dry and scaly skin, your doctor may recommend you use an over-the-counter cream that contains lactic acid or lactic acid and urea.





In a more serious skin disease, such as ichthyosis or psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe prescription creams and ointments or other treatments in addition to home care.





Dry skin leads to dermatitis, which causes red, itchy skin. In these cases, treatment may include hydrocortisone-containing lotions. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings with mildly astringent properties to contract your skin and reduce secretions and prevent infection.
