What Do Rashes On The Thighs And Buttocks Indicate?
I have a rash like poison ivy. It started in my inner thigh. It has spread to behind my knees. An my butt, waistline, couple on my arms neck and head. My girlfriend just had shingles. This doesn t look like they did. She also has this. Two of the kids have it too.. we looked for bed bugs an found nothing. What is this???

Hello,
This does not sound like shingles. It sounds like some sort of insect infestation like scabies or an exposure like poison ivy. When multiple people in a house are affected then scabies is more likely. Please see a doctor for treatment. Everyone will need treatment and all clothing and bedding will need to be washed in hot water.
