I have a red rash that appears on my arms, chest, and back from time to time and it only itches onmy arms really bad. What could this be? Can anyone help!!

are you taking any new medications? If so does any of your old or new medications. Say anything about being out in the sun while on the medications.? How about like the questions most will ask .... Are you using any new soap, perfume, or did you buy a new top such as a sweater or something.

Just some thoughts.

Imshirt I have not done anything different? I don't have any clue to why the itching continues, but I could scratch it until it bleeds to relieve the itching

that is really strange hey? How about allergies (out door, seasonal kind)? Have to tried a benadryl (sp?) cream or pill to at least stop the itching?

That has happened to me a few times. The first time I went to the dr and they had trouble figuring out what it was. Come to find out it was hives. I didn't go in for testing to find out why I was breaking out, but I later realized it was from stress, and now whenever I get stressed I break out in a rash, it's usually in my most sensative areas, like my knucles and joints and stuff. My hands usually break out real bad. I was prescribed zyrtec, used oatmeal cream for the itch, went away when I was done stressing.
