My son returned from camping this morning.  He complained of itching and I noticed a rash on his upper inner thigh.  The rash seemed to spread to his stomach and he also developed welps in the armpit area.  He feels warm and is complaining that he is \"freezing\".
Hello, Thank you for posting. The condition you described is very difficult to diagnose until proper physical examination. For now, it can be two things. Firstly he might have got an acute attack of hives or urticaria which is a common allergy causing rash and itching all over body. It usually subsides on its own but may require a short course of corticosteroids and antihistamines which your GP or dermatologist can easily prescribe for you. Secondly he might have contracted scabies which is common in people who frequently go for camping. For scabies, you might want to launder all his clothes, bedding inward water to remove tiny mites which cause scabies. Apart from this, he needs oral (ivermectin)and topical antistatic cream(permethrin 5%) to get rid of mites from his body.
