What Causes Blisters On Ball Of Foot And Rashes On Legs And Arms?

My 10 year old daughter is having painful blisters on the bottom of her foot around the ball of the foot mostly. So painful, that she can not put her foot down to walk, and hops everywhere. The doctor said it was an infection and gave her an anti-biotic ointment, but they got worse instead of better. To make matters worse, my daugter started getting an ichy rash on her arms and legs. We took her back to the doctor, and they said they think it is "scabies" on her arms and legs, and Herpetic Whitlow on the foot. What I'm reading about herpetic Whitlow doesn't sound like what my daughter has, but I'm no doctor. I find it odd that she would get scabies and herpetic whitlow at the exact same time. Something just doesn't feel right, and I'd like a second opinion. How likely is it that this has happened, and what could have caused it?
