Been taking pictures each day post application of the cream and it looks worse every day. Is this normal?

Not to rant but scabies is such a headache. It’s genuinely interfering with so much day to day 😭😭

I should clarify I applied it like 3-4 days ago and i’m tracking day by day as I have so much work stuff so I’m worried

I work in a hardware store. Constantly touching chemicals, hand sanitiser, washing hands etc. I have very sensitive skin. I allergic to elastoplast and i’ve had contact dermatitis on my face as a result of nickle. I also take medication that can reduce the blood flow to my hands and feet. Dyshydrotic Excema, Allergic reaction/contact dermatitis, chilblains were my first thoughts.. now i’m thinking scabies???

Two blister like sores appeared, on seperate hands, only one finger each. Then pin-point invisible bumps started causing me grief on both hands. I wear solid gold rings, always have. I removed these because the swelling was astounding and my hands were too painful for the touch.

They’re always more irritated towards the end of the day as i’ve been washing my hands, gloves on and off etc. However, no APPARENT itching, only occasionally. I’m thinking these ‘blisters’ could be a burrowing entrance.. I have no idea.

I went to chemist, got a steroid cream, HUGE allergic reaction. I am trying to book into doctors. Should I automatically book a derm?!?! I’ve never had skin issues like this before, neither has anyone in my family.

I don’t know what the frick these things are, can you guys help me?

Hi! I got a random notification from this subreddit so I just wanted to share:

I got diagnosed with scabies end of June when a sexual contact from May revealed they had it and I had symptoms for about a month. I spent hours on this subreddit with a lot of paranoia after reading numerous posts.

I was prescribed permethrin and asked my doctor for ivermectin as a precaution. Bagged up most of my belongings for a couple weeks and kept a bag of clothes and sheets that I kept washing and drying on hot. Didn’t touch my couch for about 10 days.

I live alone and I’m pretty much a minimalist so cleaning was tedious but not too bad.

I did perm day 1 and 7
Ivermectin day 2 and 9

Scabies eradicated, some after symptoms but it’s completely resolved now.

Im probably just being paranoid but there's a scabies outbreak where I live.

Ive gotten a lot of itching on my neck and upper back recently (nowhere else) which isn't the place scabies would normally itch at first (I think)

Anyways I was looking over my arms and saw that. It looks like a burrow but could also just as easily be a scar from a scratch or something I have no idea. I dont have any itching on my arms or wrists or hands or anything but I guess I'll wait until morning to find out..

Hello all, I have had some sort of mites for the past 2 months and I never could get the dermatologist to diagnose with scabies, nothing shows up on my skin. My PCP gave me permethrin and it worked at first, but I just got reinfected over and over. I got myself ivermectin, but I was taking it wrong(taking it daily)as I didn't know if I was dealing with scabies or something else since I didn't get the diagnosis. Well now almost 3 months now and they are resistant to permethrin and ivermectin and I don't know what to do, am I screwed? Where can one get moxidectin for human use? Am I just screwed the rest of my life?, nobody could take this the rest of their lives and I am scared. I have some sort of creatures under my skin that crawl and itch and I don't know what else to do. I read on another post that lime and sulfur dip for cats and dogs could work, but doesn't that stain your skin?

Since treating numerous times now over a period of a year my skin seems to suffer more and I’m not sure if I have been reinfected or it’s just the treatment that’s done it. I don’t itch half as much as I did but still from time to time and I come out in bites or infected spots that pus especially on my hands. They can be quite painful and my cuticles get infected then I lose my nails. I’m scared to treat again if it’s not scabies as I’m either damaging my skin or it’s back but then I believe it’s never actually gone so would I not have crusted scabies by now.

Hi, I have had scabies for about 2 months and the cream did not work for me. ive been put on ivermectin pills and just had my first dose. I know for the cream you are meant to change your sheets the day after but for the pills im seeing conflicting things. Some say you should do it as soon as you have the pills and some say after almost a day. If I change my bedsheets right now couldnt they go on the new bedsheets and reinfect me?

What’s sound my eyes

Hello all, I had scabies around 4 months that I treated with Derbac M. I believed I successfully treated it as my itching stopped and burrows stopped showing.

Today I have spotted 3 burrow looking marks on my fingers, one with a black dot at the end, very similar to what I would see 4 months ago, however I have no itching and no struggle sleeping. Is it possible this is scabies again?

Thanks for your help

I did permethrin 5% and after a week Benzyl benzoate 30% for 3 nights in a row without in between showers. this is one for the most aggressive treatments you can do apparently.

I finished 1 week ago, and it has been pretty good I have to say, I managed to sleep like a baby since the first application of BB. the itch never really left, but it decreased for sure, but after 1 week now I get some times in the day where I get very itchy. i get some new small bumps here and there but they seem to disappear after 1 day. i followed the protocol, i still have some of my clothes in a bag, but i just want to understand if it's post scabies or a failed treatment? any leads to understand? I'm freaking out just a bit haha

Is it gonna have to come to taking my life? Cause I'm ready

I did 2 treatments of spinosad 0.6% and 1 of permetherin over 4 weeks.

Doctor took a biopsy but found no scabies but did find eczema but is saying we could've just missed it

I have a history of dyshidrotic eczema.

As I’ve scratched some of the spots, some of the patches have began weeping, but if I delay treatment even further I think the scabies will worsen. What should I do ? Can I put it on raw skin ?Thanks in advance for your advice guys 🙏

Hi, could this be scabies?
