Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Swallowing coin has no relation to either rash or Scabies.
Scabies is a contagious disease caused by Sarcaptus scsbii, a parasite.
Rash can be caused by allergy due to any cause.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
