I have had a skin rash for 6 months. I have seen a dermatologist for the past 5 months. Ive been on steroid creams , prednisone, everything. nothing is getting rid of what the doctor called hives gone wild. then today she said maybe its scabies. that sounds disgusting. if my husband and kids have not gotten this rash then it couldnt be scabies right?
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. FORUM. Skin rash may be due to, 1 allergic reaction as you stated that you are the only sufferers in the house, so chance of allergic reaction are more. Diagnosis can be confirmed by biopsy of effected parts and consultation with another dermatologist will help. 2 urticaria, however it is very difficult to evaluate diagnosis without exact physical examination of patient, hence for this rash physical examination is important. 3 Dermatitis is one more reason and dermatologist will find out the cause and reason, so get his opinion. 4 If Chat Doctor. Good luck.
