Did it just suddenly show up? Do you have anything else similar on other parts of your body? I have Plaque Psoriasis and it looks very similar to what you have when it develops in a new spot. Mine are usually 1 or 2 though, never a whole group like that.

That looks like a non-alergic reaction to poison ivy. First 3 or 4 times I was exposed, that's what mine looked like. After that, I started to develop the allergy and now I'm a full blown disaster zone if I get into it.

I blame bonfire....

Pray it's not scabies. Somehow caught that when I was a kid...I remember having to drink some nasty banana flavored oil to get rid of it.

it looks like scabies to me. would scabies only be on the elbows like that though?

Been to an outdoor bar or leaned up against something outdoors recently? I had the same thing several weeks ago and it went away very quickly (2-3 d). The only thing I could figure out is it was from an outdoor bar that had pollen on it.

Just on one elbow or both? Can you post a better in focus picture? Is there any scaling?

One possibility is an allergic reaction to something you go into (bites or something like poison ivy) but both of those should itch pretty badly. I would try antihistamines and an OTC topical steroid like hydrocortisone. It should resolve over the next week or so. Another possibility is a rare but not at all dangerous condition called granuloma annulare that can make round rings under the skin. These usually don't itch and can be on the elbows. If not better in a week go see a dermatologist and you might benefit from a biopsy. Either way nothing dangerous and not scabies.

My wife has a similar elbows only breakout. Noticed it this Saturday. Dermatologist said its likely a reaction to something she came in contact with. We assume it had to be from sitting down outside on our patio (quite a bit of pollen collecting on the ground so maybe it was on the chair arms too and triggered something?) but overall we are pretty confused to the exact source. Doc gave her a prescription to some cream that costs about as much as a car payment.
