I may got chiggers on my body.  First, Ive got intensely itchy rash and scracthed them. There are many red-brown scabs on my body. After sloughed, I have many slightly-sunken scabs anywhere. The scabs is about 0.2inch in diameter. I have tingling pain on the scabs, now. Did I get chiggers? If so, please advice over-the-counter drug and how to take the chiggers.
Hello and thank you for your question. Chiggers are tiny red mites that bite you and cause red bumps and intense itching. You usually get them when walking through tall grasses. Vigorous washing of the skin after traveling through an infested area may help dislodge the mites. Once you are bitten using antihistamines to decrease the itching and lotions like menthol or calamine may help the itching. Keeping the affected areas cool and not scratching may also helpRegards
