Skin rash at the wrist area?

I got this kind of skin rash around the wrist area for like about 2 months. I don't know what happened, but one day I just realized that this rash was there on my wrist. The rash is shape like a circle, the diameter is like about the size of the thumb's diameter. That area, is like dry, pinkish and it looks like chicken skin with little circles popping up. I don't know what it is, at first I thought it was just only a dry skin area and I put lotion on, but it stayed that way for the past 2 months. And sometime it gets itchy but not really itchy. Can someone tell me what it is?

Any rash that has existed for 2 months needs to be properly diagnosed. See a dermatologist. One possibility not already mentioned is dermatitis herpetiformis. This is caused by an allergic reaction to gluten/gliadin proteins in grains like wheat. If this is the case, it indicates a serious underlying condition called Celiac Disease. Please see a dermatologist and good luck.

you could be allergic to your laundry stuff. Sometimes it only irritates parts of your body that rub. Such as your wrist with a long sleve shirt. Also maybe ring worm
Reply:allergic reaction. just to besafe, please go to your doctor or clinic.
Reply:It sounds like you may have the ringworm. It is a fungus type infection that is in the shape of a circle and it looks like how you described it. What you should do is get some anti-fungal cream, and put that on it.Keep applying it until it is gone.The package will have how many times per day to put it on. And if it itches really bad, try that plus some hydrocortisone cream.


Hope I helped!
Reply:It sounds a little like ringworm. ( don't worry, it is not a real worm, it is a fungus like athletes foot) you can try putting something like lotrimin on it, but you probably should go to the doctor as it may need more heavy duty meds.


Do you wear your watch on this wrist? it could be simple dermatitis, and you might want to stop wearing your watch for a little while, and put on lots of cream


or it could be psoriasis, which can clear up with hand cream and cortisone cream. This is the problem with a rash!
Reply:do you wear a watch or bracelet on that wrist? it could be an allergic reaction to the metals of one of those, you could try cortaid cream, but really should see a doctor !
