What Causes Rash Spreading On Arms And Legs?
I HAVE A TERRIBLE RASH ON MY LOWER LEGS THAT ORIGINALLY WOULD COME AND GO BUT NOW THE RASH IS SPREADING TO BOTH SIDES OF EACH LEG ADN ON MY ARMS. MY SISTER THINKS I HAVE SCABIES BECAUSE WE HAVE CATS AND A DOG THAT MIGHT HAVE FLEAS OR MITES. WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND WHAT WOULD HELP TO CLEAR IT UP?

hi,
scabies causes more rashes on fingers and wrist..it becomes worse at night.
when there are pets around maintaining a clean space is very important..
premethrin 5% creme will be useful.
also wash all your clothes,bedding ,all things chance of infestation....in hot water and a hot drying cycle..rubbing alcohol can also be used for disinfecting stuff that can't be heated.
continue this for 3 weeks.
thank you
