What Causes Itchy Rashes Around Abdomen?

I have a strange rash at 3-4 places around the abdomen. Very itchy at times and fine at others. There is a burn like crust on 3 of them. I m worried that this could be scabies or other bugs? The pa thinks it may be an allergic reaction to something I wore but I don t really agree.She s prescribed desoximetaone 0.25% for it.

Hi..

Itchy rashes can be most probably due to allergic reaction however it can also be due to Eczematous Dermatitis..

So my suggestion is to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a clinical examination and investigations like allergy test can be done for confirmation..

For now you can take antihistamine luke Levocetrizine or benadryl for reducing itching.
Apply a combination of steroid, antibacterial and anti fungal ointment like Betnovate GM for relief.

After appropriate diagnosia further treatment can be advised..

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

Regards.
