What could i have?

[bigmanT]

about a week or two ago i started having itchiness on my inner thighs, i scratched and eventually they formed small red bumps that resemble mosquito bites. these bumps dont have a fluid or pus look  to them. about a day or two after my lower abodomen (from belly button down to about an inch above my penis) i started to itch and scratched and became a little rash around that area. after looking up what it could be, it seemed to be jock itch. but then my arms started to do the same thing along with between my fingers. I have recently been cleaning the areas with hydrogen peroxide and then applying lamisil cream. after two days of doing so the rash has somewhat subsided. but now i have noticed about two or three small bumps, no puss or fluid like filled ones on the head of my penis. any help as to what it may be?

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to scabies. Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

i looked up scabies and it may be a possibility, and i planned on seeing a doctor in a week or so just incase it goes away because it happened a 3-5 days after (cant specifically remember)

I know scabies often appears between the fingers.  Look that up and see if your symptoms are similar.
Also, if you can afford it, it might be time to go to the doctor.
