What could this rash/spots be?

Question

My boyfriend had a patch of little spots kinda like a rash on his hand just near his thumb it started off quite small just red and looked like rough skin. But now its gradually got bigger he has been putting Benadryl cream on it. He says to me that its itchy and the skin peels abit. What could this be? Should he go to the docs or is there anything else he could do?

Answer 1

Sounds like a form of eczema to me, as i have it, tell him to see the doc for some hydrocortisone. that,ll do the trick.(cream) that is.
