Odd rash on skin.

[Candii_x]

Hello everyone, so I have atopic eczema, have done all my life and have been having a flare up for the past two years. About 2/3 days ago I noticed small bumps on my lower inner arm, they're not itchy until I touch them and don't hurt, but since i first noticed the patch about 2cm wide they have spread further around that arm and onto my other.

I'm awaiting a doctors appointment but I was hoping someone on here might know what it could possibly be. Nothing in my life has changed apart from I started using a different type of Aveeno moisturiser 2 weeks ago, long before the bumps appeared.

Have you changed your soaps or detergents? Do you recall getting bitten ? Could be prickly heat. Or a form eczema

Like i said nothing has changed in my lifestyle except the lotion. It's been spreading over the last few days so I don't think it's a reaction to anything.

Sorry can't help, it's always weird when you have eczema and then get new symptoms!

That's okay, yes I always think I finally have it under control and then it flares up again.

I have exactly the same thing it’s spread to my other arm now and I have have 3/4 clusters on each arm :/ it’s also spread to my fingers now, thought it was eczema at first but I don’t think it looks like it? Hopefully you find out soon. If you get any treatment please update us!

Thank you I will. It's mostly gone now, my mum thinks it's just a stress reaction related to my eczema, she's a pharmacist so she's probably right. If it comes back I'll go to the doctors, but I'm planning a wedding so it's probably stress!
