Rashes Over The Upper Body. Application Of Aloe Extract To My Hair. Had Aloe Tea Mixed With Blue Berries. Chemical Reaction Or Scabies?

Hello, My name is Judy. Yesterday I broke out with a itchy hive looking, zig-zag, and straight looking line rash that poped up when I was taking a bath. I was using aloe in my hair that I blended up from the plant. But I also felt that I had some crawling feeling in my scalp so I felt the aloe would get rid of it. I was in the hot water for 20 minutes taking a bath, the aloe in my hair. Then I started to itch on arond my neck, breast, back, shoulders. stomache and right arm welted up. But a day prior to that, I drunk a 2 liter bottle of my homemade aloe tea mixed with blue berries in the process of a day. I used garnia friutise hydration( it suppose to contain some fruits extracts) shampoo to wash out the. I was in the shower sitting down, on the leftside no irraitation. On the right side I had welts and rig-zag and slanted red raised lines. Do you think that was some kind of chemical reaction or scabies being exposed in me.
