Hi, I have suffered from chronic itching and skin rash for the last few years, I also suffer very badly when i am in the sun from what i assume is heat rash even though i have been on steroid tablets, steroid creams, anti hystamines and so on at the time that i go to a hot country, I go to spain once a year as my parents live there and each year i end up looking like im diseased when i come home. I have gone to doctor after doctor but to no avail as i seem to just suffer with itch and rash at any given time throughout each day. Most common areas are arms, legs, knees and front of neck also sometimes back and stomach, these rashes can appear differently but they mostly come up like a white pimple under the skin and red inflamed skin around the area then develop into scab like sores can then turn purple and the scar for a number of weeks. I have now seen a new doctor and he is convinced it is scabies!! So i want to know could i have been suffering with scabies for a number of years and can this be what flairs my skin up in the heat and direct sunshine. I am exhausted with searching for answers and so so tired of scratching until i bleed. Any advice or help will be really appreciated. I am now about to start a treatment for scabies but i am desperate to know if this is also the cause of what seems to be a terrible heat rash which i suffer every year without fail when i visit Spain.
Thanks
Lou
