How To Treat Itchy Rashes On The Body?
My daughter has had a rash now for a while. (maybe a month) I always thought it was just dry skin or sensitivity to soap. But now I have it. Mine is on my inner elbow, the sides of my stomach and some on my inner thighs. Hers is pretty bad on her inner elbows and inner thighs but is also on her back and stomach. It looks like a patches of little red bumps and it is itchy.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from scabies.
As both your child and you are affected, it must be an infective condition.
Apply permethrin cream.
It is safe and very effective.
If there is itch take an anti histamine tablet.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
