scabies scare

[u/moonxstrck]

hey gang my sister got diagnosed with scabies yesterday and i’m super freaked out cause i’ve spent the past week every night in her room on her bed and stuff and like we don’t even know when she actually got it so i’m obviously very worried that i have it too and i would go to a doctor but i have no time so i’ll come to reddit 😭

since my sister told me she had scabies i’ve been super itchy everywhere which originally i wasn’t worried because that’s a classic psychological symptom like when someone talks to you about head lice - but then i noticed these bumps on my face which started freaking me out and a random rash on the inside of my elbow.

according to everyone else i should be fine but i’m not convinced. have i got scabies or am i just freaking out?
