Suggest Treatments For Recurring Skin Rash With Itches

I have a terrible skin rash, I have tried many treatments for scabies, dry skin, steroid shots for itching, olive oil baths. Sometimes it subsides, I ve had this problem for nine months. I look like I have a bad case of the measles. I m terrible to scratch and it is becoming sores. I do have Hep C and possible a damaged liver. I just can t stand this anymore.

Hi,

Measles is usually short limiting condition and not usually associated with itching. As you have severe itching, you could be having scabies, papular urticaria or an eczema. These conditions could be differentiated only after proper clinical examination, for which I recommend you to consult your nearby dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
