Question : hey my last question i asked was about my red rashes i was getting on my body. i did have scabies a couple weeks ago but im not getting the night itch that i was before i did the treatment.

i dont know what it is but i just get random red line marks on me, patches of red sometimes, a lot of the time on my hands and tend to on my neck. i could simply just take a shirt off or jumper and i would get red rash or marks on my neck, and sometimes they just appear randomly. here are some photos

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

You seem to be getting hives. It could be a result of hypersensitivity to the dead scabies mite..I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days. In addition I suggest you to use a topical soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion for the rashes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
