I had a hive like rash that itched in various areas that came and went as well as red blotchy hands, wrists and fingers. All spots come and go. I saw a dermatologist who said scabies. The rash stopped about 2 hours before I even did the promethean 5% cream. I went ahead with all other scabies treatment (washing all linens). Three days post treatment and I have red blotches that still come and go on hands but hives have stopped. Slight itching every once in a while but not constant or bothersome. Could I have been misdiagnosed? Could this be something different?
Hi, Are you suffering from itching at night? Itching more at webspaces associated any boils or pustules. Any of the family members suffering from same problem then it may be a scabies. Otherwise, it may be an allergic skin reaction to some allergen.  That allergen you have to identify and avoid its exposure. Use antibiotics and anti histamines for itching. If symptoms not improved please consult your dermatologist he will examine and do skin biopsy then treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
