What might this rash be?

I got a rash in my inner elbow - both of them actually, and then it spread down my wrists. I thought that it was through washing too much, but now it's on the inside of my thighs - near my knees. Eek.

Any ideas?

    Use unscented soap, bath foam, sensitive non biological washing liquid.

    Even if using the same washing liquid in the machine sometimes manufacturers change the ingredients.

    If the rash irritates get an antihistamine cream from the pharmacy.

    Yes its probably an allergic reaction to a new soap or something. I got that reaction when I used Radox. But it could also be some food you are eating.

    Definitely get it checked out - only a doctor could say for sure. It could just be an allergy - have you changed anything (such as washing powder etc) lately?

    must be an allergic reaction as someone else said. an anti allergic tablet for a couple of days. But not w/o consulting the doc.

    Eczema may fade in adulthood, but people who have eczema tend to have lifelong problems with skin irritation and related problems.
