Dear Ms,
As the diagnosis of skin condition depends on clinical examination it would be helpful if you could provide clinical photograph for further assessment.
Also kindly provide me the following additional information
1. Where all are the scratches present, which all parts of body?
2. Is there associated itching?
3. Is there any redness of the skin
Going by the description provided so far, possibility of Scabies needs to be considered. Awaiting your response
Take Care
