Hi, My two year old has recently gotten over a virus (two back to back) and she now has a rash with small white bumps (not pustules, just raised). These bumps are surrounded by a little pink and are itchy. They come and go, but have appeared every day for about a week. My 18 month old, who also had the same viruses a couple of days after her sister, just got her first signs of the rash. I understand that viruses often come with rashes , but because they are raised bumps that come and go I want to rule out scabies . Any thoughts? I looked at scabies pics online and I don t see any trail marks on my kids. The bumps on my kids are sometimes lone and sometimes clustered. The online pics of scabies aren t helpful because they are all of advanced stages.
HI YES, LESIONS YOU ARE DESCRIBING ARE TYPICAL OF SCABIES.BUT SITES LIKE FINGER WEB AREAS.UMBILICUS, SCROTUM,WRIST ARE MAINLY INVOLVED.ITCHING WILL BE MORE IN THE NIGHT TIME
