Hello everyone,
I am a concerned parent of a 2-year-old toddler who has been scratching all over her body constantly. It seems like she is very uncomfortable and I am not sure what could be causing this. We have noticed that her skin is a bit dry and there are some red bumps on her arms and legs. We have tried changing her soap and lotion, but the scratching still persists.
We have also noticed that she seems to scratch more when she is in bed at night. We are worried that she might have some sort of skin condition like eczema or allergies, but we are not sure. Have any of you experienced something similar with your toddlers? What could be causing this constant scratching, and what can we do to help her? I would appreciate any advice or recommendations on how to relieve her discomfort.
Thank you.

Hello everyone,
My little nephew had similar symptoms, and it was concerning to see him suffer so much. However, we went to the doctor and found out that he had scabies.
Scabies is caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin and lay eggs, leading to intense itching and rash. It spreads rapidly from person to person, so it’s important to treat it immediately. The doctor prescribed us some medication to apply from his neck to toes, and we also washed his beddings and clothes in warm water.
We saw a significant improvement in his condition within a week, and the itching and scratching reduced considerably. While scabies is not a severe condition, it can be uncomfortable and frustrating for toddlers, so it’s essential to address it as soon as you notice symptoms.
In case you observe a rash that appears to be spreading and causes itching, particularly in warm areas of the body, such as areas between the fingers, toes, groin, and armpits. You should visit your doctor and ask about the possibility of scabies.
I hope this information helps!
