Hello,
It is true that the earlier symptoms sounded
like hives but for these small itchy
pimple like lesions apart from hives, viral
rashes and scabies also needs to be ruled out. It does not look like hives, however diagnosis can be confirmed only by examination and tests for scabies. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
