hi i do not think it is scabies.scabies effects typical sites like finger web areas,wrist,umblicus and genital reas.presents as papulo pustules all over the body from neck to toe.usually shower decreases itching in scabies.i think the above condition is acute urticaria.it is caused by food allergens,dyes and insect bites.it can be treated by atarax 25 mg at night,alaspan in the morning and application of calamine lotion over the lesion.if still no response go for oral steriods
