I work in a nursing care facility where some residents have scabies and recently saw a dermatologist who said the scabies scrape was negative however rash and discomfort persist. any other possiblities of the cause?
Hi, As per your query you have symptoms of clustered red bumps on the upper body and legs which is probably due to a viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and could be due to allergic reactions.  Need not worry. I would suggest you take a combination of the antiviral Chat Doctor.  Apply an ice pack to reduce itchiness and redness. You should wear cotton clothes and avoid exposure to the sun. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done. Avoid application of any cosmetics.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
