Question 2

how did i suddenly get an itchy rash?  are all sudden itchy rashes allergic in nature?

Accepted Answer

Rashes: Most allergic rashes are itchy however, not all itchy rashes are allergic. A good example is scabies that is cause by an arthroppod (insect) that tunnels beneath the skin. Ask your primary care provider to evaluate the rash first, seek a dermatologists opinion if the pcp can not determine the cause.

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: If this happens when you are in the countryside , you are likely allergic to something outdoors or even to the sun.
