Dear Itchy, scabies is not really easy to diagnose or treat, so if you did go to a dermatologist to be diagnoses, please contact him/her and tell them about the rash. The best dermatologist in our area missed my sisters scabies, and of course, we all had to be treated when she got treated as we lived in the house with her. NONE of us got a rash from the scabies or the treatment. It is possible the medication broke you out or you got re-exposed. I know this is a hassle to treat, but if you still have it, you are also still contagious to others. If for some reason you did NOT go to a dermatologist, and maybe just treated it with the cream guessing that is what it was, you need to be seen. They looked on the back of my sisters hands, in between the fingers to find the mites finally. She has dry skin and actually is a retred ER nurse and she went with the itches to the guy and he didn't see them at first. Best of luck, patti

I've seen them so bad the patient was covered with rash and of course major scratch marks. The dermatologist was treating her for a skin inflammation with cortisone cream. A veteran nursing home nurse can diagnose it rapidly, lol. I said it was scabies and we sent her to another dermatologist and he treated her and she was cured, lol

Hi itchykat... I, too, have had scabies and picked it up from a creepy person visiting another old and now ex-friend of mine. I had taken my shoes off somewhere "near" that person. Something should have told me something was up with this guy because it was the middle of summer and he was covered in denim and you couldn't see an ounce of skin except for his face. But he is where I thought I got them but I did go to the doctor because this thing was spreading from my feet up to just short of my groin area. I had to do a special treatment called, "metrogel 1% (metronidazole gel),1%

That's a new one on me, I'm glad it helped you. There are oral medications for scabies if the creams don't work. Ivermectin is one of them.

Hi Kais--no, I never remember taking an oral med... just that stuff I mentioned. But I got the diagnosis right off the bat and I was pretty mad. I remember telling my friend's mother because everybody who was at the party needed to know that someone there was contagious with scabies. Blah...

Ivermectin the only thing that will get rid of scabies, it is a parasite that needs to be killed through internal medicine. Take it internally 2 mg every 6days for 4 to 6 weeks. I probably had the worst case of anyone in history I was prescribed calming down with melatonin as well as building my immune system with lysine vitamin C iron calcium echinacea vitamin A . I also consumed 100 g of protein a day, my personal doctor prescribed ivermectin. Dermatologists do not have a clue . I was prescribed permethrin cream five times did not work. You must take ivermectin in juice. Relieve stress , Get emotional support, no matter what surround yourself with those who love and care for you, this will help in your healing. Eat a ton of protein, fruits and vegetables and get plenty of iron

Yeah, my room mate has had a diagnosis of Mild cognitive impairment and it is having some effect on me. I did take my amitriptyline Tuesday night nd slept, but forgot to bring it when I went to my bfs house yesterday, so was up again last night. Ken is doing better physically and had to be placed on Thorazine to keep him from trying to do some things he shouldn't, like trying to ride motorcycles and get bullets for his old pistol. I have been so afraid some well meaning neighbor would take him to the store or let him ride their motorcycle. The Thorazine is helping and he is on aricept and will start Namenda, but I am having some anxiety due to kens mental health. Thank you Dsquared. Patti

Garlic is a good insect killer and might be doing a good thing as well.
The Moringa tree will coddle and embrace your immune system, her seeds can be naturally used for extensive water cleansing and water decontamination.
Thank you for sending this message around dear scabie-fighters , much love

P.S. In my opinion, and in this time, mainly, the purpose of the presents of scabies is to teach the Earth's people about the bearing of respect for the limit of their descendants amount, namely; the overpopulation.
Next to the infectious black rat, domestic animals like cats and dogs are the number one spreaders of plague and disease, brought over to humans.
The infectious rat and her infested parasites (fleas, lice, scabies) spread over to (domestic) animals. Domestic animals carrie always parasites. infected or not. On their turn, the (domestic) animals as well as their (infected) parasites can however, jump over to human and infectiously bite.
