I have a rash that starts off as small red bumps. In a day, it is the size of a half dollar and so so itchy. It is not scaly, only slightly raised and the center is a brighter red then the rest. It's mainly on my arms by the wrists, elbows and the fleshier part on my upper arm although at first I did have some by my knees and ankles...so itchy. Please help!!!

Have you found out what it is? Sounds kinda like what I have. I had a biopsy and am waiting for the results...

Did anyone find out what this is. I live in West Palm Beach and have the same thing. It
started on my legs , moved to my arms and is now on my back. My legs have cleared
my arms are clearing but my back now has the initial sensitive red spots. The spots
eventually burst and then I get a rash similar to tinea versicolor. I have been to
3 dermatoloigist and no luck. I am also gaining weight for no reason. I would love to
hear if anyone has found a cure. The rash can be overwhelmingly itchy and keep me up at night.
