Hello,

I think you may need to visit a dermatologist. There is a risk that you may be having scabies which can be causing the severe itching and scratching to bleeding.

Please consult a dermatologist or send me a picture of the rash. If it is scabies you may use antiscabia cream on the rash. Using Cetirizine will relieve itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
