Do you know what caused this rash?

I have this spread out kinda rash with small red bumps on my arm. None of them are touching each other. I hasn't spread and a few of them are weeping like poison ivy does.It isn't really itchy but it burns sometimes.
Answer:
maybe you are allergic to something
like food, lotions or creams
could be impetigo
could be anything , take a benedryl
My friend just had that sounds very similar. She was determined it was from the tanning bed, however her dr. said it was just allergies. Try washing the area with soap and water...ivory soap or something that doesn't have dyes and scents added. Rinse well and pat dry. Also take some benadryl and see if that helps...if it doesn't you should see a dr. if it's still there by Monday.
Sounds to me like you may be experiencing a food intolerance reaction.
Have you been eating anything that you normally don't eat; like recently introduced to your daily diet?
A fast way to deal with this (if that is the case) is to NOT eat those foods that you notice a reaction from after you've eaten them. Stick to a basic diet of proteins, vegetables, and take a daily suppliment to proof your body up against viruses and infections (include a big dose of vitamin C)
If you KNOW it's not some new food you've been eating and are still worried; why not get a diagnosis from a doctor? At least you won't be worrying yourself into a flat spin! Good luck and also try eating some non-sugared yogurt daily (this will improve the condition from the inside)
When does it burn? Like when your skin gets warm or sweaty? It sounds like it could be heat rash or contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis happens when you wash your clothes or body and don't get all the soap off.For relief try medication for rashes like Gold Bond. You could also try putting ice on it.Don't put ice directly on your skin. Also, rinse your body in as cool water as you can stand.Don't use soap or shampoo.just rinse off...Drip dry if you can just in case the soap didn't come out of your towel when it was washed. Wear something you haven't wore in awhile so you know that you won't be wearing something that has soap stuck in it.If the rash spreads or the bumps get bigger or are accompanied by fever, coughing, dizziness, seizures, shortness of breath or severe muscle ache or tingling, contact your doctor immediately. If your symptoms don't improve in 2-3 days, make an appointment with your doctor.
