text: do you think the horrible rash i have is from the young boy i held in a small village? i was recently touring some of the most rural villages in egypt. when i entered one of the villages a man invited my friend and i into his house. we drank tea and i was handed the smallest of the household...a boy of about 1year.  i noticed he had a rash all over him. he did not respond to anything. the child had a rash covering his arms and face....when we pointed at the rash the man of the house pantomimed swatting a mosquito....but now, here i am....with a rash. it is on my neck and around my underarms. i also have very small bumps on my wrist.  should i be concerned?  is it more likely a reaction to my sun tan lotion? it is itchy when i touch it....red and blotchy, raised but not fevered. sorry sweetie, sounds like you have scabies-get yourself to doc. now, very contagious -it was a very sweet thing you did though-bless you
