Red, itchy bumps in a small dry patch near the elbow are commonly seen in early eczema, keratosis pilaris, or sometimes lichen planus or follicular eczema. Friction, dryness, or even a reaction to detergents or fabrics can trigger such lesions.
Next Steps
Please visit your nearest dermatologist for a clinical evaluation to confirm the diagnosis. Until then, you may apply a mild moisturiser containing urea or ceramides twice daily.
Health Tips
Avoid scratching, tight clothing, or harsh soaps in that area. Refrain from using over-the-counter steroid creams without supervision as they can worsen pigmentation or cause thinning with prolonged use.
