Is it an insect bite ? Antihistamines might help , sometimes your pharmacist can give advice if you can speak to them. I hope you can get some relief, im prone to rashes, particularly on my arms .

If you're talking about the small spot with a bit of a point (and maybe a spot lower down) it could be something like eczema. I get itchy spots mostly on my hands and arms. I think they come from eating too much high acid foods (or gluten), at least for me. Nothing really clears it up but hydrocortisone cream can reduce the itch and keep it moist while it heals. You can get prescriptions for similar creams but they pretty much to the same job. Antihistamines could help reduce your histamine response from whatever is causing it. If this is the case for you, the best thing is figuring out what is causing the spots. Good luck!
