What Could Cause Red Rashes On Arms, Chills And Flu?

Hi, I was at the doctor today and they claim I have scabies. I do not think that is true. I had a red rash start forming on my arms, have chills and flu like symptoms but no fever. The next day I noticed the red bumps spread and today they are all over my back, stomach and legs. They are NOT ichy. Can you help identify what is the issue?
