Next step is going to see doctor, but reading some other messages It seems that it could a number of things serious and some not.
Based on what I described do you have any idea of what I might be looking at ?

The skin changes you’ve described are probably the result of an allergy; this has to be confirmed by a dermatologist. Pain in shoulders and loss of strength in the forearms could be caused by spondilotic changes in the cervical vertebral column. An X-ray image of the cervical vertebral column is necessary to confirm or deny this supposition.
