Suggest Treatment For Rashes All Over The Body
Question: I have itching and rashes on different parts of my body., on the palms of both hands, on the inside of both thighs, on the back of my neck, both ears, and inside my right elbow. I'm 65 years old and have not gone for a shingles shot. How do I get relief?
Brief Answer:
Please upload a photo and provide some information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
What you are describing, does not seem like shingles.
It looks more either like an allergy or a parasitic infection called scabies.
Can you please provide some photos so I can have a look at the rash. You can do so by clicking upload at the reports section in this page.
Also please provide some more information:
- Are you allergic from anything?
- How long have you been having this rash?
- How did it develop?
- Have you slept lately in hotels of areas where you could get this parasitic infection?
- Are the medications you are using, helping?
The more information you give, more helpful will be for me so I can give accurate advise.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
