I just found this group and am hoping to get some ideas. I have a rash on my scalp and now on my back. Been to my PCP and dermatologist 2 times each. Been on more drugs ointments etc. So yesterday my Dr. Said to try the treatment for Scabies....EeeeKkkkk!
I have done the lotion and cleaned my already clean house and I am itching worse than ever. After reading this groups ideas...I am thinking that it is exema. Did not know that is connected to auto immune. I am Stage 4 Cirrhosis. Nothing is showing up in my routine bloodwork. ANYONE have ideas?

@jeanne5009 My apologies for not responding to you. I have autoimmune issues, and kidney disease caused by hyperactive immune system. It seems to me since the rash is localized to scalp and back, it may be a contact issue. Bedding, or new shampoo/conditioner, perhaps? New laundry soap? Change in vehicles, now receiving a different type of light? Change in medication [either dosage or type, including over the counter]? Change in anxiety or stress levels, sleep patterns, or diet? Having a compromised system due to your cirrhosis may lead to hypersensitivity from nothing that you can put a finger on. Do oatmeal baths work to calm the skin down? I hope we have given you some ideas here.

@jeanne5009 Itchy skin is horrible does calamine lotion help?
