my husband has a rash around his stomach and his upper torso.  Ive not changed laundry detergents, products, etc.  It is itchy.  He keeps grasping at straws trying to figure it out; hes gone as far as thinking its scabies.  I am fine have no rashes or anything neither do our four kids. Any thoughts.
Cellophane you for contacting Chat Doctor. Actually it is quite difficult to diagnose/suggest a skin disease without seeing it. As far as scabies is concerned, following things if present in family suggests scabies:1. Itching between fingers.2. Severe itching specially at night, and you get awake.3. More than one family member involved. There are multiple causes of rash on body. Which can be as simple as an insect bite and can be complex diseases as well. For itch I would suggest you to give:> Tab. Heinlein 10 mg (Cetirizine) 1 tablet at night for 4 days.> Tab Sigma 10 mg (Basting) 1 tablet in the morning for 4 days"Heinlein" causes sedation so I advised at night while "sigma" does not cause sedation, so it can be taken during the daytime. Both these will help in controlling the itching BUT at the same time consult your nearest doctor if :> Condition starts to deteriorate.> Condition does not resolve in 2-3 days> Any other problem starts. Hope it will help you and make your husband well soon. Thank You
