I've gotten this before and it eventually went away. I can see it starting now....it's very faint but it's a red rash on the inside of the crook of my elbow. It gets dry and more pronounced. I think it has something to do with heat on the inside of my arms when I bend them because the edges meet when I bend my arm.

Sorry, it's hard to explain...just wondering if this is excema or something like it.

Hey, it sounds alot like eczema. I say this because i have ezcema and it usually starts in the same spot as you described. I also think that its ezcema because you meantioned heat. My eczema gets worse when it gets hot and sweaty.
Your dr should be able to tell if it is eczema and prescrib you a cream or somehting for it.
