I have like a red spot on my forearm with a burning feeling everytime an acid touches it .. What could it be ? .. Can I put Fenistil or sth like that?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
It could be,mmost likely but not certainly, a mosquito bite, or an inflammation or infection of a hair root (folliculitis). Less likely to be an early lesion of chicken pox (in case you have been exposed to someone with chicken pox - varicella infection, in which case more similar lesions, usually that are fluid filled, itch, and appear iin crops, will appear later). Meanwhile avoid contactwith iirritants like alcohol or detergents, apply fucidin, and keep it dry. If it doesn't improve or gets worse or new lesions appear, kindly see your doctor.
