What Does A Skin Rash Indicate?

My son is suffering terribly with a skin rash. They took a biopsy today to determine whether or not he has scabies. He took his wife out of the country the end of January so I suppose it could be. He is very clean and this looks more like shingles to me. Will the biopsy confirm either condition?

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to allergic reaction.

Some advice that I can give to you is:
-Take oral antihistamines daily.
-Use calamine lotion for local relief.
-If you do not get better take prescribed corticosteroids.

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