Rash

I have a really big red rash on my arm, a smaller one on my other arm and 2 on my back, kind of near my kidneys. Does anyone know what this could be? I had one on my ankle this morning so I don't think it's due to anything I've eaten recently, and I haven't changed my washing poweder so I don't think it's an allergy. It's really itchy and painful though so any advice would be appreciated!

Eczema probably. Caused by the colder weather perhaps, and if you're itching it it's going to make it raw etc.

Lol, I'd never have thought of that. I checked on google and it does seem to look the same as eczema though I've never had it before. Thanks for your help!

Dont use E45. Its a waste of time. Get yourself down to the doctors and get some steroid cream. It works for me.

Sounds like something along the lines of Excema, try not to scratch it to much because youll only spread it over more of your body probablly,
just have it checked out at the docs
