It is the skin on the lower arm..has been happening for quite awhile a couple of weeks.When you look at it though it looks normal. There are a couple of small dots on it not close together..No idea if that has anything to do with it. I have tried various creams and lotions which bring a bit of temporary relief. I just want it to go away. Any remedies for this?

Are you sure is not an insect bite? If they are bright red it could be "cherry angioma" (nothing to be worried about). Bright red dots caused by the proliferation of blood vessels.

No, it isn't bright red. I am wondering if it is just rubbing against the cover on the chair. You would expect it to look a little irritated though and it is not.

@LadyDuck I guess..but what is weird is that it doesn't look red or irritated, but it feels that way. Ozembic can do that.(skin sensitvities).but I haven't been taking that much of it lately. I accidentally left the boxes out and I don't think it is effective right now.

@snowy22315 May be it's nothing at all, it happens that it's just rubbing against something.

I have not been sitting in the chair this afternoon that seems to be related to the problem, so I am pretty sure that is what it is. I will need to wash that cover, and hopefully that will take care of the issue.

@just4him Yes, it doesn't seem to bother me as long as I don't sit in that one chair for prolonged periods. Really though I think a good wash of the chair cover should ameliorate the problem significantly.

You may need to go to the doctor. Have you tried itch cream ?

It doesn't itch. It feels OK at the moment. I think I am going to have to be aware of whether it is bothering me if I am not sitting in this chair. Maybe I just need to wash the chair cover or something.

@Tampa_girl7 It seems as long as I don't sit in that one chair for a prolonged period it is OK. I do need to wash that chair cover though. Maybe I will put that on the agenda for tomorrow.

Have you tried any cortisone cream? If it persists, I would see a doctor. Have a good day.

Nope, but I have tried other creams..and lotions etc. I am pretty sure I know what the problem is now. Thanks, though.

It isn't bothering me at the moment. I have switched where I was sitting so that might be a factor.
