Question: I was itching for several weeks, was told to use permethirn once, then again in 10 days. Meanwhile I used a topical hydrocortisone for the itch. My itching has gone down a lot, but my back broke out in a rash and I scratched it and the next morning I had major bruises all over my mid and lower back that was dark black and blue and covered most of my mid to lower back. Should I have this evaluated, or could it be the result of the harsh chemicals used.
