Forearm rash

[foolish]

I have a rash on my right forearm which is irritating. I regularly rub a disinfectant cream but it is not really improving. I am on Ibrutinib (3years) now. Apart from another visit to doctor any advice?

Thanks Foolish

Honestly. It’s another visit to a doctor. We can’t tell you what’s wrong with your arm even if you send a photo. There’s just too many things it could be. You should go to your GP / Primary Care doctor initially. You may simply need a steroid cream. The only thought I have is could you be alergic to the cream you are applying?

Many thanks for advice.

I was unable to take Ibrutinib for more than a few months due to an itchy rash, and steroids helped some, but a Psoriasis treatment called Photo Therapy (light box) with narrow band UVB rays for 3 minutes 3X per week was most effective.
