Does a scarletina rash itch?

Yes, scarletina rash does itch.  Benadryl or Calamine lotion will help.  Scarletina rash is not a serious condition and should go away in about 5 to 10 days.  Hope this helps!

It's possible.  If there are artifical flavorings, preservatives, or coloring, that are in the brand you buy, they could be the cause of itching.

She must be extra allergic to them.  She should probably see a doctor.  Don't worry.  If she's not sick other than the rash, it's just an allergic reaction on her skin and nothing bad will happen to her.

I have a friend who's a Pediatrician. My son was having something similar. It was a somewhat mild rash that'd go away after a few hrs but reappear in a diff. spot. She said this happens randomly & they dont really know why. Its a harmless rash, doesnt hurt the child, and there's nothing they can really do about it. I cant remember what she called it though.... Since I've been letting my son sleep in only his diapers & with the ceiling fan on, he hasnt been getting the rash so i'm thinking this was heat related. You might try this.... Good luck!

If it looks like this pic which I suspect it might, you probably have scabies.\n\nhttp://www.safe2use.com/pests/scabies/omar/figure3.jpg\n\n----------------------------------------------------\nScabies is a contagious (catching) disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis (Hering). The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs. Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching (especially at night) and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist (belt line). If untreated, the female will continue to lay eggs for about five weeks. The eggs hatch and the new mites begin the cycle all over again. The mites themselves are too small to be seen without magnification. One of the great problems with scabies always has been misdiagnosis. Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. It is usually found where people are crowded together or have frequent contact, and is most common among school children, families, roommates, and sexual partners. Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg. Prompt action is required to rid a person of the insects and eggs. Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic.

i live in hawaii as well as i'm from florida where both places have so much staph. you only get staph from open sores that become infected, puss like stuff will be coming out and no it doesn't itch. hurts like hell all the way to the bone. i spent a week last year in the hospital due to staph which is not something to mess with. your child sounds as if they have a rash of some sort. go see a different doctor.

Although some people have suggested scabies, it doesn't strike me as sounding typical of scabies (location is usually first noticed on wrists). Sounds possibly like urticaria (hives), which could be an allergic reaction, or could be a physical urticaria, such as pressure urticaria. How long have you had this? Does heat, such as from a hot shower, make it worse?  Is the rash worse after sitting for extended periods, or if you're sweaty? How big are the wheals (individual mosquito bite looking things)? \n\nTry bathing with Aveeno, it;s an oatmeal powder that is made to mix with bathwater, you can find it at any drugstore. Mix one packet with warm water (not hot - heat will likely make the itching worse) and soak for as long as you comfortably can (15-30 minutes).  OTC antihistamines such as Benadryl may help, but it's better to consult a doctor than trying to dose yourself with medications.\n\nIf you've had this rash for a while (weeks or months), you really should consult with a doctor, since there are some systemic conditions, including cancers, which can cause a persistent rash. Not to scare you, but they should be ruled out.

It depends, where is the rash, and what does it look like? Could it be the side effects of the medication you are taking? Have you consulted your doctor?

We could use more information. Do the bumps itch? If not, that's strange. I'd be interested in hearing what you find out.

Hi Vivienne,\nRed itchy skin rashes on lower legs could by eczema.\nBecause of the location of the rash you should exclude what is called varicose eczema\nFollow this site for more information\nhttp://www.surgerydoor.co.uk/medical_conditions/Indices/V/varicose_eczema.htm\nGood luck

I have this weird rash on my arm. Little pink bumps. Or maybe bug bites.

Hello:\nA rash on the inside of your thighs is probably either friction rash or a fungal infection called Tinea cruris. If it were the tell-tale sign of syphilis it would be painless. Now if you are having burning when you urinate that is a different story. It could be gonorrhea which is rapidly on the rise in "our family" and is becoming resistant to traditional treatments. It could be chlamydia (the most common std in the U.S. today), or it could simply be a urinary tract infection, although men dont get them nearly as often as women do because of our unique plumbing. You may have two separate things going on, like I said a fungal infection and possibly an std especially if you see any discharge from your penis (yellow, thick usually goes with gonorrhea, clear to gray watery goes more with chlamydia) but often times there are no symptoms whatsoever. If in doubt, go to your doctor and get whats called a "GC/Chlamydia DNA swab of your penis which will give you definitive answer.\nI hope this helped answer your questions and alleviate some of your concerns.\nRegards,\nWarren Shaffer, M.D.

Standard initial treatment of poison ivy is with over-the-counter products, such as hydrocortisone cream, to help control itching. Other products that may help relieve itching include:\n\n    * Calamine lotion\n    * Creams containing menthol, such as Sarna\n    * Oral antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl, others), if itching is severe\n    * Tub soaks with colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno)\n    * Cool compresses\n\nIf the rash is widespread or results in a large number of blisters, your doctor may prescribe corticosteroids. Antibiotics also may be prescribed if secondary infection occurs.\n\nPoison ivy is a form of contact dermatitis. When your skin touches the leaves of a poison ivy plant, it absorbs a small amount of an oily substance (urushiol) made by the plant. If you're allergic to this oil, your skin reacts with redness, itching, swelling and blisters.\n\nThis reaction can last up to three weeks even with treatment. In severe cases, new areas of rash may break out several days or even longer after initial exposure. This may give the appearance that the rash is spreading from its initial site. However, skin must come in direct contact with the oil from the plant in order to be affected. Scratching affected areas does not spread the rash.\n\nPrevention is the best medicine with poison ivy. Know what the plant looks like and where it's found in your area. You can also get poison ivy indirectly from contact with firewood or the fur of a pet that has the oil on it.\n\nAs soon as you have known contact with poison ivy, it may help to remove any exposed clothing as soon as possible. Then shower with soap and water to remove any excess oil on your skin from the plant. Wash your clothes before wearing them again. Reactions similar to those from poison ivy may also occur on contact with poison oak and poison sumac.

Mine peel sometimes and i was at the dermatologist for a rash which turned out to be ezxima (however thats spelled) and the cream that they perscribed for the rash on my legs I use sparingly on my nipples and it cleared right up. if they get dry i use a little again.\n\nIt most likely a reaction that will pass but try a sterioid cream, like cortizone or get something more intense prescribed by your doctor.\n\nand don't worry about it if its just the skin, the only time to worry is obviously if you feel a lump or if there is discharge.\n\ngood luck

Several things, Allergic reactions is the most common thing. Could be Poison Ivy or Poison Oak, could be from an insect bite, or maybe some other plan or animal life her skin doesn't like to interact with. Go to the doctor, they will more than likely tell you to go buy some Benadryl (or something like it) but to be safe I would check with the doc.

Very simple.  It is an itchy rash that can occur usually on the arms and legs but sometimes in other areas also.  Your dermatologist takes a little sample and puts a chemical on the sample and looks under the microscope.  If the sample glows yellow then the test is positive and you have the disease.  The good news is it is completely treatable with several medicines including dapsone.  You will get better and stop all the scratching!  Good luck!!!
