Hi,

Has anyone in your family had scabies?
Is she allergic to any substances?
Has any other family member demonstrated similar symptoms and signs?

The method of presentation indicates that this could be due to Scabies.

Scabies is a contiguous disease caused by the mite which spreads on close contact with a infected person or through use of infected materials such as inner-wear or linen.

You must go to the doctor who can provide you with a definite diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, give her some OTC anti-allerics to help her cope with the itching. Wash all linen and innerwear and items of personal nature in warm water and dry them out completely in the sun. She may also keep her skin moist and healthy by using moistureizers.

Keep us posted on your health.

Best regards

Let us know what the doctor says
