What Is The Remedy For Itchy And Burning Sensation On The Skin?

My boyfriend has a rash and is scratching his legs, groin area, and his back. He is miserable at night as he is scratching constantly. I have now began to feel small bumps on my left leg and on my stomach. Today my arms had a burning sensation and are also itchy. Tonight my scalp is itching and burning. Not sure what to take or do?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You and your boy friend both may be having scabies. As the there is severe itchy rash on abdomen,groin areas,legs,back and more at night. This history suggests the diagnosis of scabies, a parasitic infestation caused by sarcoptis scabie. It is contagious diseases and that is why, you develop it. Ivermectol tab 12 mg single dose may be sufficient with permethrin cream application at night from neck to toe. Levocetirizine may be taken till itch is relieved. However, you both consult dermatologist. I hop you got my answer.

Thanks.
