[|Human|] My husband has had a problem with skin for a year now. He has patches all over his body of red bumps that itch so badly he breaks the skin. We originally believed it to be scabies my neither me or my son are affected. We also treated with premethrin and ivermectin and it has not changed. So what ski. Conditions could appear like scabies but are not contagious... I just want to help him, the itching drives him insane and I am at a loss,
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint the symptoms of small patches of red bumps all over the body that are itchy too can be due to allergic reaction or Contact Dermatitis that can occur due to allergic reaction to any Food, medication, poison ivy, latex, leather etc. Other cause can be generalized hair follicle infection caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist or Immunologist and get him evaluated and proper investigations of the lesions and blood tests like complete blood picture and allergic tests like LAST test, Patch test, Food challenge test can be done to rule out the cause. In case if it is due to allergic reaction then he can be advised oral anti-allergics like Allegra or Levocetrizine along with topical application of Ben Chat Doctor.
