Rash on arm

Got a slight rash on my arm, which appeared yesterday evening.

It's only little, theres a slight circle shape and then a bigger blotch which is more rectangular.

I considered ringworm coz of the circle, but tbh i think that's just the way it's formed.

Anyone got any other ideas what it could be from?
I can't think why it would be an allergy rash as i havn't used anything different/new compared to normal.


I attempted to take photos of it, but it was difficult coz its on a funny place under my arm.








Any ideas?
I'm not really worried, just a bit curious!
cheers :smile:

probably nothing serious. maybe a little heat rash, exzema or a reaction to something in the enviorment (maybe the planted new plants on a walk u take reguarly) could be any number of things.
if your in any way concerned or if it hurts or irritates then go to the doctors

Thanks guys :smile:


It doesn't feel like a rash, it feels like a bit like a graze (it's not a graze though lol)


I'll just keep an eye on it for now xxxxxx

Might be eczema, mine tends to start out like that 90% of the time.

Just keep an eye on it, if it becomes irritated then go see your GP so you know for sure what it is ^_^.

Whatever you do, don't go see a doctor, they'll be most unhelpful.

I went with a rash I have all over my body and all I got was "Well it could be anything really" and a prescription for a different brand of the same cream I was already using that I stated was not working.

Thats not very good advice :s-smilie: If you have any problem what ever it is and however severe you can always go see a doctor, most GPs are very helpful on most matters :biggrin:
