Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A spreading itchy lesion with small boils can be due to infection like scabies. A direct examination by a dermatologist is necessary for diagnosis. Till the time you consult one, try to avoid itching the lesions and apply lactocalamine lotion for relief.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
