What Causes Severe Itching And Rashes On The Body?
My elderly neighbor has been dealing with extreme itching and rash for 4 months. She has seen two doctors and went to the ER. No one has been able to identify the condition. The itching is driving her mad. The doctors believe scabies can be eliminated. They have offered no other ideas. Benedryl and ointments have not helped with the discomfort. What skin conditions she could ask a doctor about?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dear rash and itching may be due to allergic dermatitis or hypersensitivity or secondary to drugs or mosquito bites or soap s etc.
Also may be due to scabies or Viral infection or fungal infection etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
