<human>: A rasChatDoctore on my arm. I thought it was a latex allergy since it popped up in the area where the nurse tried the latex rubber on my arm. Used hydrocortisone 1%, but it didn t work. The rash started to spread and moved to my other arm also. Nurse thought that it was a reaction to the plaquenil, so they took me off that, but the rash never got better. I started taking prednisone, and finally it cleared. However after stopping the medicine, two days later the rash on both arms is starting to come back. Help me.
<bot>: Hi, The rash could be an infectious condition or an allergic condition. Steroid treatment is usually not advised for the infectious condition in the longer run.  So, I request you to confirm the diagnosis by visiting a Dermatologist. He can provide you with the ideal treatment after confirming the diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
