Hello,
Eczema is one such possibility which can present with such symptoms. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.

For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used, whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid. But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
Sometimes eczema is localized and present on 1-2 areas. Commonly adults have persistent localised eczema, possibly confined to the hands, eyelids, flexures, nipples or all of these areas.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Thank you for your respond, can u really only get Eczema in only one place? I thought that ends up getting in many areas when u have it. also what are some other things u think it may be?
