Yeah, but, what if you scratch because something itches and there's no rash there BEFORE you scratch it and then when you scratch, there forms a rash? Does that make sense? Another words, can a rash lie "dormat" under the skin? Sometimes when I scratch, alls it does is turn a little pink but in this particular place (the inside fold of the elbow just above the crease)I scratch and a small rash deveops and I'm trying to figure out why. Could it be an allergy, could it be a reaction to a tanning spray, could it be because it may get warm in that area, could it be from something that I have eaten that I may be allergic to (although, I'm not sure if that were the case the rash would be in one little area)I don't know. It's just for the past 3 days, when I scratch there or even dry off with a towel from the shower, it appears, goes away...appears...goes away etc...could be be eczema or dermatitis (I have allergies)Hmmmmmmmm..........
