Brown Itchy Patches All Over The Back, Bad Rash On Eyes And Elbows.Is It Eczema Or Candida ?

Hi my name is AAAAA . I am 25 years old . I hv got married last year in november . I live in Luton after marriage. I used to live in Hemel Hempstead before. After three weeks of marriage I got some brown itchy patches all over my back . I went to see doc & she said its an viral infection & it will go away after six weeks. After two to three weeks I got really bad rash on my neck my eyes & my inside outside elbows. But after six weeks my back was clear but doc said about the other rash that its eczema . He gave me some steroids etc. but as soon as I left the cream it came back again. After 7 months I went back home in may 2013 for a month. I went to a skin specialist and he said to me that it's fungal infection not eczema. He gave some course and it worked. My arms were clear now. I came back here in June . I got pregnant in July this year. And in after three weeks or four I hv got itching around my Anus . It was really bad itching that I can't sleep at night. My husband has got itch on but doc said it just bcaz if dry skin. But mine was worse.i hv done my urine test and they found candida. They asked me to repeat . But this time they said its clear now. & u itch bcaz u hv thrush . They gave me canesten pessary and cream . After two day of using the tablet I felt really itchy discharge from vagina. I I had white discharge too but that wasn't itchy .after the tablet I had itch on my vagina too.and two weeks after I felt really bad rashe & red bumps & pimples on almost everywhere . Worse at night. On my thighs my shoulder blades my neck my chest . My left elbow my abdomin. Then I went again to see a doc . She said its just a pregnancy itch & she gave me some itch relief tablets. My husband decided to do an sti test . We went to gum clinic and had out tests done. After two weeks the result was clear. There was nothing in results. Then i went to a dermstologist but unluckily he wasn't Sure too . M surprised a dermatologist is not sure about patient condItion & he said it looks like scabbies but u don't have any symptoms in between fingers . But he gave me a blood test for a liver disease in pregnancy too. That's called obestatric cholestasis. I've done my blood test on Friday. Now waiting for result . This itch started almost 5 weeks ago. Me and my husband used the cream for scabbies. Doc said u need to treat all family members live in same house. M really worried about my condition pls can u tell me is it scabbies?? I have rash on my both shoulder blades my neck abdomin both thighs vagina anus elbow . But not in between my fingers. We should I do now?
