What To Do For Recurring Raised, Blistery Rashes On The Body Which Causes High Blood Sugar Levels?

A year ago I had a terrible rash on my arms, legs, stomach and back. I was treated for scabies twice and given prendisone. It took two months to get rid of the rash Biopsies were inconclusive. I work with small children and I am a diabetic. When the rash was at its worse my blood sugars were very high and I was put on insulin. The rash is raised and blistery. I am getting the rash back again and I am panicking. I don't think I can go through this again. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
From your description, I would like to rule out a few possibilities like blistering disorders( bullous pemphigoid), bullous lichen planus, insect bite reactions, Id eruptions and contact dermatitis.Scabies in adults in general do not blister.
I would advise you to repeat a skin biopsy for histopathological examination and a special test called immunofluorescence. Please do the test before starting on prednisolone or other steroids as this can alter the biopsy picture.
Hope this helps you.
