My grandmother has itching red spots on her whole back and the doctor is not sure what it is. can you help?

May need Dermatologi: It can be either an allergic reaction or an infection. If it is not settling down with some anti-allergic medication taken by mouth(ask your MD to give you some medication), she should visit with a skin specialist(Dermatologist). A blood count may be useful to do if the itching is getting worse or the skin lesions get bigger or more progressive over the next one week.
