Question by JulesVernie:
What is this itchy rash on my upper arm!? Bedbugs,Poison ivy,Scabies? HELP!?

I noticed small red bumps on my inner, upper arm (near elbow) when I was laying down for bed. It has now grown and is slightly raised and looks like scratches with two small scabs. I thought it might have been bedbugs since about 3 weeks ago I was at a hotel. (I haven’t found any traces of bedbugs, but they are hard to spot) btw, I do have a dog. It itches like CRAZY! It isn’t weeping (like poison ivy does). I have had it for 2 days 🙁

Thanks in advance =)
I haven’t really been outside where there would b poison ivy. I have seen ringworm before and it is more of a circular shape. Anyways, i’m psycho cleaning just in case it’s some kind of BUG! ewww

Hard to tell in the pic. By the circular pattern it might be ringworm but not sure. Might also be eczema or poison ivy.
