Itchy Scalp, Small Bumps At Crown, Diagnosed With Eczema, Have Scabies, Rash Spreading Over Body. How To Get Rid Off It?
I am 56 years old and am a plumber. About a month and a half ago I noticed that my scalp was itchy and had small bumps at the crown. The next morning when I awoke my head was completely covered with these bumps. I have been diagnosed with exzema, a rash, allergic reactions and such. I have been researching this on line and found that I have scabies. I have tried the premithren, after a biopsy, and that made me itchy more and the rash spread. I now have this rash covering my back , down the sides of my torso, the top of my butt, my thighs front and back and now beginning on my calves. Is there anything that I can do to get rid of this. I do not have the time or the money to keep going to the doctor who apparently has no clue as to the cure.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the multiple of problems.
In my opinion it appears to allergic contact dermatitis. In this condition there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness. In this condition a thorough history of contact allergens are to be taken and accordingly a specific diagnostic technique known as patch test is to be undertaken.
I suggest you to apply medium to high potency steroid cream application because are best effective in these condition. I would have opted for either mometasone or clobetasol cream.
