Red, itchy, chickenpox-like bumps for over six weeks?

HELP! I'm so tired of this. I've had these horrible itchy red bumps for 6 weeks now. They look a lot like chicken pox, but they have been here almost 7 weeks. I've had a low grade fever the entire time and stayed sick, too with mostly upper respiratory irritation and sore throat. I've been to 6 different doctors, including an infectious disease specialist and no one has a clue what is wrong!!! The last doc (the inf. disease specialist) ran a full panel of bloodwork, but the results are not due to come back till about Thursday of this week, and he isn't even sure the bloodwork will show anything. I need some answers and some relief! Has anyone ever dealt with something like this?

    Sounds like hives, really.

    Take some Benadryl for the itch. Calamine lotion and oatmeal baths help, too.

    It's Probably Scabies. I had them, just go to the doctor for them and youll get lotion. less than a week they will be gone.
