Can Scabies Cause Cluster Of Bruise-like Spots On Hip Area And Arms?

I have had this grouping of bruise looking spots come up near my hip bone. I had the same ones come up a few days ago on my arm but they disappeared after a day or two. Now they showed up on my hip. I don t know what is causing this. I did / still have scabies but I m getting rid of those. Do you think they are related ?

Hello, no, scabies doesnot cause bruising or bruise like appearance, the lesions of scabies are burrows (characteristically seen on the finger webs and flexures) and papules (usually excoriated).
If you notice such lesions, u need to visit a dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
I hope you will find the information helpful
