Red spots

About two weeks ago, I got some spots on my thighs, like two on one leg and one on the other leg. They are raised and red and sometimes the skin around the spots can be itchy.

Then like a week later, I got a spot on my *** :$ which can get itchy as well and one on neck and one on my stomach and one on the side of my hand. They won't go away and the itching really irritates me.

When will these spots go?

What can I do/use to treat them. I want to go swimming soon and I feel self conscious with these spots.

Please help!

Hello,
These itchy rashes can be due to insect bites, scabies or fungal infections. 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.
