Answer:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding your child's rash and intense itching. These symptoms could potentially indicate scabies, which is caused by mites that burrow into the skin, but they may also result from other conditions like eczema or allergic reactions. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, keep the affected areas clean and discourage scratching to prevent further irritation.
