Rash vs scabies

On Friday I had my hair colored. That night I noticed slight itching to my scalp. I took some Benadryl and the itching decreased. On Saturday I took a shower and washed my hair. That night I noticed some itching to my arms. On Sunday I noticed raised red bumps on my arms, chest, and face. Today I went to the doctor he said it was either contact dermatitis or scabies. From what I have read scabies usually occur at the waist line, genital, under arms, feet, and under the breast. I’m fearful to use the cream he prescribed if it is not scabies. Any one ever have scabies or a reaction to hair dye like this?

Go to a medical website and look at pictures of what scabies look like and read the info. I have known of someone with scabies and they had it all over and it is very contagious. You are suppose to wash your bedding in hot water and detergents that would kill them. It is a type of mite and burrows under the skin.  Check out  mayoclinic.com  or another medical website that gives info as well as pictures. If it isn't scabies check out soaps, lotions etc that you may have changed or food that may have caused such a reaction.
Look at hives and read the info also

I hope all is well now?
Can you tell me the outcome as I have something similar. I applied the Elimite just minutes ago but it does not appear to be the "typical" scabies.
