What Causes Spots All Over The Body?

my son is 16 months old and has been suffering with these spot for a couple of months they appear anywhere on his body but never in his mouth. we have taken him to our family doctor sevral time first they said it was scabbies and he had two treatment for that which seemed to clear them up, but within a week these spots where back. i was then told it could be moisquto or flea bites and then bed bugs. i have done everything i possibly can to spot this eg. hot washed all bedding, towels and clothes daily and even has my carpets steamed cleaned and brought a new bed and mattress just in case. could you please shed some light on what you may think is causing them as my doctor dont seem to know?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear!
A picture of the rash will help me more in diagnosing the condition.
I would like to ask whether these lesions cause itching or irritability in the child?
Is it associated with fever?
I would advise calamine lotion to have a soothing effect and permethrin cream 5 % and fusidic acid to apply over these rashes after taking shower.
Try some good anti histamines like levocetrizine 2.5 ml at night for 2 weeks.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
