What Causes Appearance Of Itchy Rashes On Legs And Arms?

My daughter is 15 and has itchy rash on her legs and arms and a little on her stomach. When it first starts out it is like white spots but then she itches it so much they get red with scabs. Has had it for 10 days. I took her t the dr and said it was hives and put her on steroids. Got a little better but keeps breaking out in new spots on her legs and arms.
