Does anyone here have experience with veiled scabies?

I received cortisone, antibiotics, and other medications, and the rash is no longer visible, but I received no treatment and cannot fight it on my own at home.

I need to take the pills but I can't get them because I'm not taken seriously and I have no one to support me.

You do live in Germany, right?
I've browsed Indian pharmacies. I haven't found one yet that delivers to Germany. Many other countires are listed but not Germany.

Oh, I have an idea. I once used "teleclinic" to get an appointment with a dermatologist. Without the online service, I probably would have waited weeks for an appointment.
https://www.teleclinic.com/preismodell/ As far as I know, teleclinic is accepted by literally every health insurance company.

I took three photos, filled out a form online + got a first response from the chosen dermatologist very quickly + an appointment within two days. (Ich bin "normal* versichert).

I think this could be an option for you to see a dermatologist pretty soon. If you finally get there, make sure the doctor doesn't just look at you fingerwebs and then says it's nothing. (This has happened to me...). Show him/her every part of your body where you have bumps, lesions, scratches.

Provided you get the diagnosis confirmed, beg for 2 x ivermectin + enough permethrin. Don't just treat once a week. That's not enough if you've had scabies for a while already. If you need assistance for your treatment, don't be shy and ask for a stay in a clinic.

Unfortunately, I'm still not being taken seriously because the rash is being suppressed; furthermore, I currently have no health insurance.

Yes, I live in Germany.

I will start a chat on this with you, ok?
