My grandmother came home from the hospital 4 weeks ago, and since then she has had skin rashes. It started between her fingers while she was still in the hospital, then spread to the backs of her hands, and now it can be found almost all over her body. According to her, it itches mostly in the evening, and it is also present on the top of her head.
My parents live with her, and they do not have any symptoms themselves. They have been to a dermatologist twice, but both times the doctor said it was not scabies and prescribed a steroid cream, but we have not seen any improvement.
We would like to take her to another doctor for a second opinion, but she is already 87 years old and has difficulty moving.
She did not have any skin conditions before going to the hospital, where she stayed for almost 8 months. These rash like symptoms began during her last month there.
