Red Sores, Crusted And Itchy, Spreading, Surrounded By Dark Rashes, Painful
Hi, I have sores/ scabies not sure which, they are various sizes some have started to puss and others are just red. They are crusted and are itchy. They are only on my bottom and are spreading from the middle outwards. They are also surrounded by a dark rash which is now started to get a little painful. Please can you tell me what is happening??????

Hello,
It seems from the history that you have red sores which are itchy surrounded by rashes. Many skin conditions present with skin rashes and hence it is difficult to say which condition it is unless seen physically.
However since you have mentioned that it is associated with itching it can be scabies as you are suspecting. But pain is usually absent in cases of scabies.
Hence you need to consult skin specialist before starting treatment.
Thank you
