Rashes Around Neck, Scalp, Ears And All Over. Could I Be Affected With Scabies?
My 91 year old mother was in a rehab facility for 2 weeks. She was discharged on Oct. 15th. Two days later we received a phone call from the facility letting us know a patient had scabies. yesterday, Oct. 30 I began to itch and developed a rash on my neck, the back of my scalp, around my ears, on my shoulders, under my bra line, around my waist and pany line, down my spine. Could I have caught scabbies as I visited my mom everyday at the rehab facility?

Hi, the scabies will not have such a distribution like all over the body at a time, and your mother didn't have such symptoms. I think it may be an allergic reaction to some thing like foods, dress, cosmetics, soap, or seasonal flowers or fruits.
