    Extreamly itchy rash.
    Hello everyone... first timer here...
    I have a situation. Its starts with an itch... then after scratching, turns red with really tiny small bumps that you can hardly see. Mostly on outré and inner arm and inner thigh, side of knees... strange... really itches at night and during the day not so bad, but, can drive on crazy! Any help would be appreciated... thanks

    Sounds like an allergic reaction. Any new meds, soap, laundry detergent, anything?

    Maybe your allergic to the detergent. Or maybe even water.

    Make sure after a bath or shower that you dry yourself real well.

    Itchy Rash...the final answer

    Well every one it appears that I have Scabies!! I don't feel so bad since it has been pestering man for at least 2,500 years... (I guess it was my time) for you who don't know it's a tiny skin mite that causes a fierce itchy skin condition. If you have this condition, please see a dermatologist ASAP. It is not a condition of poor hygiene... no one is immune. So, I hope this helps.
