I have a very very itchy skin rash...started on my thigh spread to the other and now its on my peri area,toe, lower calf, back of hands, lower arms and also forehead. I have also had bouts of upset stomach. I have treated it like ecezma, yeast, and fungal and nothing seems to help.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.

I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.

Looking at the history of irresistible itching and no improvement with routine treatment, I strongly consider the possibility of scabies.

Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures along with detailed history (Like itching in other family members? Itching predominant at night? itching in web spaces of hands and feet? etc) so that I can help you in a better way.

You can reach me directly through the below mentioned link.
