Hi,

The rash could be most probably due to scabies. But, it could also be papular urticaria, tinea etc. The final diagnosis could only be made after proper clinical examination.

Scabies is usually associated with multiple small lesions on abdomen, finger webs genital area. Scabies causes severe itching usually at night. I request you to consult your dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to provide apt management.

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