Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Itchy Rash On Wrists, Elbows And Waist Line?
I first had an itchy rash in mid nov. I went to the doctor and was misdiagnosed with a fungal infection although I had classic symptoms of scabies- really itchy at night on wrists, elbows, waistline, between boobs. I treated myself with permathin and saw a new rash so I retreated a week later on dec 15. I'm still very itchy on my wrists and between boobs. The rash sometimes is barely visible and other times bright red and bumpy. I read that it could take weeks before I'll stop itching and have just read about post scabies syndrome so want to get some advice. Thanks!
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern but this may not be scabies but this could be hypersensitivity reaction, and this can be treated with the following given medicines 1) Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg three times in day 2) Tab levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day no need to worry about this, it would be fine soon, take care.
