it started on my ankle and then sort of went away. it didnt itch but it left a dark patch. that was about a year ago. now its back and its all over my legs and has started on my arms. it itches as bad as poison ivy does. it comes in patches. it looks like little red bumps that group together

Sounds like psoriasis - go to the doctor - I have the same thing on my ankle - it's been there for years and hasn't spread - doctor gave me some cream to keep it from spreading.

Go see the doctor. This rash can be from a number of things and you need to get in to see him. He may refer you to a dermatologist. There are so very many reasons for rashes and many of them can be quite serious.

You really can't diagnose a rash from a description, and be diagnosing anything else either. This forum is good if you already know the problem and want more information about it.

i was going to also suggest scabies, but that is HIGHLY contagious so if you've had it that long then other people you live/work/go to school with would have surely contracted it by now.
my second guess would be eczema. but you really shouldn't take the advice of people on the internet.... go see a doctor, girl!!!
good luck!

Sounds like you might have a fungal infection. Possibly ring worms. Go to a dermatologist and have yourself checked out.

Could be eczema. Is it like in the picture at the link below?

Eczema, maybe?
It tends to be seasonal with weather and can itch like crazy.

it could probably be eczema because eczema is a rash that turns scaly

If it is only happening in winter months it could be that "winter skin". I get that on my hands every winter now.
Try Sarna
