Arm and torso rash followed by peeling hands
My son is a 19YO college student. About a month ago, just before finals, his arms, shoulders and torso broke out with a very itchy rash. It looked something like the photos online for scabies. It lasted a few days but then went away. Several weeks later, his hands have become very scaly and are peeling which has never happened to him before. Could the two be related? What are the most likely diagnoses'?
