How To Treat Itchy Spots All Over The Body?
I have itchy spots all over my body that wasn t shingles or bites. They go away after having formed scabs from scratching, then come back in another place. I had them on my back, now they are on my arms and legs. I have used calamine lotion and ointments of anti itch but nothing seems to help. l Had started cymbolta generic about two to three weeks prior and have discontinued it now aprox. 3 weeks but am still itching. My primary did a biopsy on lower back and chest but there wasn t any thing found. U don t have bugs and it isn t scabies. I have gone to a dermatologist and she gave me an anti itch med which doesn t seem to be helping. Can you help? I have pictures if you would like to see them. Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from scabies.
It will be better to take an application of permethrin.
Also take anti histamine tablet.This will control the itch.
a photograph would have helped me better.
Meet a dermatologist and get the medication prescribed.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
