Common Questions and Answers about Itchy rash inside elbow

itchy

I have an itchy and sore rash that popped up on the inside of my elbow. I haven't done anything new, such as eating, washing clothes, etc. It looks kind of like poison ivy although it isn't spreading and it is also 2 ft. of snow on the ground, so I haven't been around any. It also isn't spreading. I have been using cortizone to try and help with the inflamation and itchiness, but it isn't working. I have had this for three or four days now.

I have a red spot on the inside of my elbow. It's on my left arm. It's about an inch wide and shaped like a circle. It doesn't feel any different than my skin normally would (bumps, pain, itchy, etc.), but I am concerned because it's been there for over a week now. It's just bright red similar to a burn.

I am itchy in my armpits, inside of my elbows, around my groin, backs of my knees and even sometimes in and around my belly button. I have noticed a rash on the inside of my elbows and a bit of a rash in my armpits. Any ideas what it could be or what is causing it. Ive had a look at certain rashes for more severe diseases such as meningitis and im pretty sure it isnt something like that.

the next day I woke up with a big rash on the top of my hand, elbow and arm and wrist with very small itchy watery blisters inside the skin. The rash went away but it left a scar on the top of my hand. and I still have and get the itchy watery blisters inside the skin only on the top of my hand and my wrist. and can not get rid of it. I do not have insurance to see a doctor… can any one please help. Or do you know what I might have.

My son started getting a similar rash on the external elbow joint, inside surface of knee joint, knuckles and side of fingers around the time he had a rash that looked like erythema migrans, a hallmark of early Lyme disease. He tested positive for Lyme. It seems like ticks can transmit more than just Lyme.

I am a 25 y/o female and have had a rash on the inside of my right elbow for the past 5 months. Sometimes it looks like a bunch of small raised red dots (kind of look like pimples or sometimes like little red blisters) and sometimes (mostly after itching it a lot and it's EXTREMELY itchy) it looks blotchy and more raised. It's a square-ish area on the inside of the elbow and hasn't spread from that spot over the past 5 months. It comes and goes but is always there for the most part.

For the past few days, I've had a red and itchy raised rash on my thighs, inside of my elbows, neck, face, wrist, and the back of my knees. The bumps on my thighs are a darker red, small raised bumps. The same appeared on my wrist, neck, and face later on but not as red. The bumps on the inside of my elbows are larger, but appear to look the same as the rest. Just today the ones on my face appeared, no colour, but itchy and raised bumps. I also have red puffy eyes and they are just as itchy.

My 16 yr old daughter has developed a harsh, red rash which is very painful and itchy...it started in the soft tissue inside her elbow, and now has spread to all around her neck. We have tried benadryl, calamine lotion, aveeno, baking soda, caladryl, hydrocortizone creams, and everything else we can think of. HELP!

I have had a extremely itchy rash mostly on my torso (below my breasts, around my waist, armpits, inside of my elbows, behind my knees, etc.) for a few weeks now. There is no rash on my legs. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and he said it was due to detergent. I took all of the steroids (10mg) he prescribed and it subsided. Today, it is back and very itchy! What should I do next? Is there something I can try OTC to get rid of this? I tried Cortizone creams, etc.

Since March I have been experiencing a itchy rash that is located on my upper thigh (not genitals), the inside of my arms, elbows, knees and sometimes hands. I have been to four different dermatologist. Who had diagnosed me from folliculitis to scabies but the rash will not go away and it itchy intensely and when I say intensely I mean I am not able to think or sleep.

I have not been to a doctor yet, due to finances, but i am starting to wonder about this rash i have had for over 2 months now. It is red itchy spots that almost look like a bunch of mosquito bites and itch just the same. It first came up on the insides of my elbows and itches so bad i have multiple scars. Since then it has kept moving around. Sometimes it will go away and pop back up somewhere else 3 days later.

They have increased in number and a week after them appearing on my left elbow they have appeared on my right elbow too. Now there are many skin coloured lumps clustered all over this area, with a lot red and itchy and sore as a result of me scratching them. I noticed that the area was weeping and crusting over with a yellow residue last week but this no longer happens.

I am on wk 28/48, and have itchy rashes on my stomuch and face. Califia, those creepy crawly bugs are over at my house also, all over my legs for about 2 days after shot night, making it difficult to sleep. I found a product called aloelife skin gel helpful for the rash. Is is 99% certified organic whole leaf aloe vera. www.aloelife.com. It is a bit gooey, and puts a covering over the skin which stopped the itching.

I also noticed smaller bumps on her elbows. Is this a rash or a virus. At first i thought it was warts, but would warts be on all four elbows and knees? So far its been 5 days and i did start to apply A+D original Ointment. She also uses TRIAMCINOLONE 0.0025% cream for Vitiligo which she has around the pelvic area. we have been using this for about two weeks. Could this be a reaction from the cream? I did make an appointment to see her DR.

The internet is great. I woke up yesterday with itchy ankles -- no rash, just itch. Today it is even worse and now I have momentary itches all over, but the ankles & legs are the worst. I live in Virginia -- don't know if geography has anything to do with it. I have been looking around the internet for possible causes, and found this site. Hope we can figure this out -- this itching business will drive you crazy and I have only itched for a little over a day!!!

Nummular eczema as the name implies may present with round and coinlike rash. The rash may be wet and itchy. A fungal infection may also resent with a red rash and itchiness. A psoriasis may not necessarily present with scales. A specific type of psoriasis usually involves skin folds and they may present as a red rash devoid of scales. A complete physical examination will be able to help.

I had a sore throat for a few days about a week ago, then when I got better, I started getting small, itchy, skin colored raised bumps on the inside of my elbows and inner forearms, anterior shoulders, chest, around my belly button, and occasionally inner thighs. Itching the bumps aggravates them, causing them to puff up a bit, and (it appears) causes more bumps to appear. Around the bumps my skin gets red.

This may need topical and oral medications .The underlying triggers also need to be noted. What aggravates the rash? Is the rash red and itchy ? What relieves it? Are you currently taking any medications for the rash?

5 months ago I developed an itchy rash on my chest and breasts. It eventually went away, only to show up on the backs of my calves. When that went away it showed up on my elbows, then my upper arms. I went to my GP and was given steroid based creams that helped a bit but didn't get rid of it. I was referred to a dermatologist who did a biopsy but couldn't find anything specific. I was treated for scabies, but it didn't do anything. Then I was put on 10 days of Prednisone.

It starts on the inside or our right elbow, but will spread over the upper right arm and on to the right side of our upper torso (mine actually covered my stomach and chest, but was always worse on the right side). It is very red and raised, but doesn't look like blisters. It itches like crazy. My physician originally throught it was an allergic reaction to something and treated it with antihistimines and aveno creme.

Hello...like CC Riley, I too have had red patches of skin on the head of my penis. It does not blister, but you can see the patches of a different shade of red. I do have regular sex with my girlfriend about 4 days a week, at least 2 times a day. I do use a condom 95% of the time, but many times after sex my penis shaft itches and the head of my penis is inflammed (does not hurt or itch), and the red patch becomes more visible.

patches on my thighs, shins, feet, butt, sides of my torso, inside of my belly button, my armpits, triceps, elbows, and underside of my forearms. But is does not seem to really effect the top side of my fore arm or biceps. My face is not effected by this. My scalp has also shown up with these "boggy" dime sized itchy swells. Timeline: It started out in Feb. What looked liked an ingrown hair on my hip. Thinking this i left it alone.

O-MY!! Im at the end of week 4 and this rash has gotten the best of me today. I have cried alot of tears in the last 24hrs, The itch is driving me insane. It strated on the top of my arms, close to the elbows, the left are has about 30 bumps, they look like misquito bites, they arent red, but they are raised and itchy, same way around both ankels, about 20 bumps around right ankel and less on the left.

Starting in August, I get extremelly itchy arms. It is only on my arms, top side. It is uncontrollable and so extreme I itch until I have broken skin. It is actually more than just an itch. It feels deep from within, like a prickly intense feeling inside my skin. It usually subsides sometime in January or February. This year I actually started itching end of June/July. This is going to be a long season if itching for me. I am miserable. Ice seems to help, probably numbing it.
