Suggest medication prolonged itchy rashes
Patient: itchy rash, rash starts as itchy then small blisters and then a red bumpy rash. rash looks like eczema or scabies. has gone on for 4 monthshave tried several lotions and ointments including perscription ointmentsother family members now have the same thing Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Family history of itchy rashes is very suggestive of scabies. I suggest you to use Permethrin 5% cream, single application, whole body, from neck downwards, kept overnight for 8 hours. This should be applied by each and every affected family member. In addition I suggest you all to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine tablet for symptomatic relief from itching.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
