What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Legs?
I went to the doctor a week ago with a bad rash on my legs. She barely looked at it and said it was scabies. I told her I hadn t been anywhere that I could have gotten them as as well as my family doesn t have anything wrong with them at all. It is not in any typical area scabies would be either. She went ahead and treated me with steroids and cream. A week later I m still itching and have random spots pop up itching really bad. Some of them go away and some stay. What could this be?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to scabies.
I recommend using Permethrin cream which is a topical cream that contains chemicals that kill scabies mites and their eggs.
I also recommend using antihistamines daily to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
