Here's a description of scabies from the CDC website:
http://www.cdc.gov/scabies/symptoms.html

You can also do a search for scabies images to see if the rash looks like your patients' rashes. Good luck!

First thing I would do would be get a culture to see if this could be a staph infection or ect so you may get some idea of what you are dealing with.

WOW!!
1-I can't believe this has been an on-going thing in this office.
2-has anyone seen one of the physicians in the office?
3-has anyone cultured any of these "rashes"?
4-What has been the treatment for these rashes?
5-This obviously is not a "clean" place to say the least, you have the right to report this to Health Department anonymously. You can call the CDC in your state. This is a very unhealthy environment you work in. Yes, this could be scabies (which was mentioned earlier, but could something more serious as MRSA, in which I deal with everyday. Please consider doing something about this & Please keep me posted....
