A member asked:

Sudden rash similar looking to what scabies displays as on google. located on torso shoulders, back, absolutely no itching. i wore a new shirt from store prior to washing, whats a diff. diagnosis for something that looks like scabies but not itch?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is residual chemicals in new clothing that may leach onto the skin and trigger a rash limited to the area that clothing came in contact. This may be the case. The label is contact dermatitis. Sudden is not a description I use for scabies & scabies itches. The rash/itch is a reaction to the poop the scabies leave in their tracts.
