See doctor: There are many types of rash and many causes (often unknown) for it.  You need to see a dermatologist or allergist for an evaluation.

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.

A common rash in : the skin folds of the inner thigh is jock itch.This can be treated with over the counter anti-fungal medicine.

Question 4

i keep getting rashes everytime i go to the country (my whole family does)! this itchy rash also prevents me from sleep at night! what to do?

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. 
I would suggest that you consult a dermatologist to find out the cause. Certainly poison oak/poison ivy is a factor to be considered especially since its resin on contaminated articles may remain potent for months.

Question 10

can too much biotin cause an itchy rash?

Accepted Answer

I haven't seen that: I use biotin in my patients with brittle nails and I have never seen a rash with it.  The only way to know is to stop the biotin, see if the rash resolves, then start it again, although, if you are truly allergic, this could be dangerous and should only be done under the observation of your doctor.
