Hello 8^) Have you tried switching to vg? Maybe try that and see if it helps. Is that the only place you have the irritation?
Yes, that is the only place I have a rash. I called Vapor4Life and they are sneding me a free 30ml bottle of cowboy vg. Not that is customer service!
Looks like the same rash I got when I spilled PG on my arm....
I switched to a 80/20 VG/PG mix awhile ago and haven't had any troubles.

I DIY my juice to avoid hives due to some flavorings.
So... the only way for you to tell, IMO, is to get some different unflavored juices...100% PG, 100% VG, same nic level.
Vape each (maybe starting with VG if you thing that's OK) and see. If the rash goes away...you can add a few drops of flavoring. Keep it simple...like grape or vanilla. Order the flavoring with the unflavored juice.
If you think its a serious reaction, or you have trouble breathing, quit vaping and get some nic lozenges or something until you figure it out. Remember 911 if it's a serious allergic reaction (usually is not).
P.S. I realize that rash doesn't look like hives...but who knows. Also who knows what else your arm came in contact with.

Hard to say whether it's a reaction to PG, VG, or a flavoring.... or you came into contact with something else entirely that's caused it.
The raised middle bump almost looks like a bite of some sort. Idk the pic is hard to tell for sure. Hope it is short lived!
After a year of vaping 80/20 PG/VG, I started getting itchy, but I can't do more than 20% VG, as I get gloppy and phlegmy
Did some research, found out almost all the cosmetics/toiletries I was using contained PG. I was on overload!
Switched everything out, and everything is fine. So check everything you are putting on your body.

Good point! I dont use any cosmetics or anything like that as I am a guy, but I should check what is on my intake list.
Ravage, check your deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, and even your preservative-laden lunchmeat!
The pic you posted looks to be a local reaction, not systemic. PG exposure through inhalation would likely cause a more systemic reaction - like hives over a MUCH larger portion of your body.
Just my .02, hope it helps.

honestly...it looks like a boil or an ingrown hair
. i doubt its related to vaping at all. most skin reactions from taking something internally are more wide spread. like your entire torso as an example. not just one little spot.

hmm thats just strange I've never had anything that looked like this on my body EVER and its just wierd that within 2 days of starting to vape this happens. Idk Ill do a little research on my deodarant and etc.
It's POSSIBLE that it's a juice allergy, but highly unlikely that you'd have just one spot from vaping it.
rather have a rash than bad lungs; luck for you, you can buy you liquids from Alien Visions who makes fantastic 100% VG juice
I had same problem with vg, just try a different mix. The rash should go away pretty quickly on it's own!
