Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if scabies cause bruises all over the body .The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like allergic reaction ,side effect , dermatitis , sensitivity to sunlight ,eczema and psoriasis , Well scabies is a skin infestation caused by a tiny microscopic bug known as the human itch mite . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Rash and burrows are the main signs that doctors use to determine if you have a scabies infestation. Doctor may take skin sample for lab test , sample is examined under a microscope to confirm the presence of mites or eggs . Doctor may prescribe 5 percent permethian cream , 25 percent benzyl benzoate lotion and percent sulfur ointment . For now apply cold compresses and take benadryl and protect your skin from direct sunlight . Keep yourself hydrated and wear loose cloths .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
