Question : My sister has had a terrible itchy rash above and below her breasts, on her belly and backand now on her lower scalp for the past 2 1/2 weeks. The itch presents with bumps that ooze a little. It's driving her crazy. One Dr told her it was a fungal infection, gave her a cream and I think some medication. It did not help. She tried a dermatologist that said it was her detergent. An allergist said it was dust mites. The itching is driving her bananas! She has tried pad sod things -Benadryl, oatmeal baths, vinegar, calamine lotion. they just calm the itch for a little while but then it starts all over again. Any ideas?
