    My whole family has a rash:: My mother & sister believe its scabies but arent too sure
    There are itchy red dots, that are all over in groups. My sister has some on her armpit & all over her arms and legs:: My other sister has hard bumps on her arms, genital area, the side of her body & by her nipples. Both my mom & dad have them on their arms, necks, back & butt

    Luckily, I dont think I have any. I itch but nothing like they do

    My mom has washed all clothes, blankets & sheets

    They havent let the dog walk around the house too much

    My mom believes the dog has caused it, he is an indoor dog & hardly goes outside

    They have bought calamine lotion & some other prescription medicine from the doctor

    The doctor didnt tell my family if they had anything

    What can this weird rash be? Is it serious?

    What should my family do?

  2. Could possibly be scabies-though they cannot be spread from pets to humans.
