What Causes A Rash On The Trunk That Follows The Belt Line?

My friend has developed a rash on her trunk that follows the belt line. She felt the bumps under the skin before they erupted for days. Dr. Dx was shingles. She went through the 7 day Zovirax oral tx, but now she is itching and the pain is worse. Back to Dr. Who now says this is eczema. The line of papules is now on both sides of the umbilicus. She rescued a pup a couple months ago that had severe worm infestation with sarcoptic and demodectic mange and is being treated with ivomectin . Is it possible she has the scabie mite from the sarcoptic mange?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Two things are possible. One is pseudo scabies, where active treatment is required for the pet and second thing can be intertrigo due to excessive sweating.

She can try onabet twice daily and hydrocortisone cream once daily at bed time until rash settles down.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
