Suggest Treatment For Thigh Pain Despite Taking Benadryl

I recently developed patches of bumps on my thigh and the patches were red. I also felt a pins and needle type feeling in several areas. I saw a dermatologist and she said it was dry skin but after being on cream, zurtex and Benadryl for a week now I still feel the pain in my thigh. I looked on line and found a picture of scabies and the pumps looked like that but she said it would be worst than what I showed her. Can you think of anything else she may have missed?

1. Apply ice on the lesions twice daily.
