I have skin lesions and itching on my forearm. What medication should I use?

Asked by Male, 30 · 17 days ago

Skin lesions with itching on the forearm may be due to allergies, eczema, fungal infections, insect bites, or skin irritation. The correct treatment depends on the exact appearance of the lesions, whether they are red, dry, scaly, ring-shaped, or associated with discharge or pain. For mild allergic itching or irritation, antihistamine medications such as cetirizine or loratadine may help reduce itching. Calamine lotion or a gentle moisturiser can also soothe the skin. If the lesions appear fungal, with ring-shaped or scaly patches, antifungal creams such as clotrimazole or terbinafine may be useful. However, steroid creams should not be used without medical advice because they can worsen some infections. Keep the affected area clean, avoid scratching, and avoid harsh soaps or chemicals on the skin. Wearing loose cotton clothing may also reduce irritation. If the lesions spread, become painful, produce pus, or do not improve within a few days, you should consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment.
