Rash on forearm.?

I'm 28 years old I have never had a rash that I can remember. I just went to feed my baby and as I looked down I have a rash from the inside of my elbow all the way down to my thumb. Its red and itchy there are no bumps. What could it possibly be and could it be contagious?

Answer:
I have no clue, unless its a heat rash or possibly an allergic reaction to something you've touched. (cat scratch possible?)

Use cortisone cream and Benedryl. You may have gotten bit by a spider too? If its not better I would concur that you should see a doctor soon.

Benedryl will make you sleepy. Hope you have someone to help with the baby:o)

It may be an allergic reaction or it may be some sort of rash that could be contagious. Take some Benadryl and use some hydrocortisone cream on the rash. Try not to handle the baby, if that's possible. If the Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream don't work by tomorrow, then see your doctor.
