My husband has a rash on his inner arms. It is small and round but varies in size up to a pea. It started on his inner bicep on one arm and has gone away but appeared on his inner forearm on the same side. Now it s also on his other arm, same places. It doesn t itch , it s not wide spread, just a couple small patches or a single circular dry, raised rash. What could it be?
Hi, Your husband is having small mild scaly lesions without any complaints like itching or pain.right? It seems that it would be either Tina tricolor (TV)or erythema. In both condition, patient does not itch. Tinea versicicolor is fungal infection caused by melessezia fur fur and erythema is mild bacterial disease caused by corynebacterium minutissimum. You consult dermatologist, he will really differentiate and diagnose. Both are treatable condition. In T V, antifungal tablets like ketoconazole and cream like ketoconazole cream may be used. In erythema, antibiotics like azithromycin and clindamycin gel may be used. I hope the answer would be helpful to alleviate your condition. Thanks.
