I think I got the scabies?

A month ago I got a couple of red bumps on my ankle and my legs, and then I went for a trip outside the city, it disappeared. When I came back it got a lot more worse. At first it looked like mosquito bites, and then it looked like pimples, when i scratched it it started to turn into blisters. Its all over my ankles, legs, thighs, palms, and my forearms. But I do not see any zigzag burrows whatsoever. I went to my doctor and he wasn't sure diagnosing me with scabies, he only gave me an allergy shot and a bunch of pills and a bottle of calamine lotion. it has been a week and i keep getting new bumps everyday.





I changed my sheets and took my medication as advised. A couple of my friends got little red bumps too but theirs went away in a couple of days.

I think I got the scabies?
Scabies are black and burrow and reproduce in your skin. You will see black lines throughout the area that they are. Scabies typically come from poor kept/dirty enviornments. You don't have scabies. Please relax!


Do you have any animals? Flea bites is what it really sounds likes. IF you do have animals there is flea medicine to make them going away.
Reply:Sounds more like flea bites to me.





It could also be a psoriasis allergy to something your using.


Keep taking the antihistamines and get a second opinion.
Reply:Scabies would itch so much they would send you right back to the Dr. ! You can get them anywhere, from anyone ! If it itches constantly, find a Dr. to prescribe Kwell to wash with. Kills it in no time ! Luck to you !
Reply:Go back to the doctor and ask him to do a skin scraping of one of the intact blisters, then see under his microscope. If it's indeed scabies, he'll either see one of the darlings or the poops they leave behind. That's the fastest and easiest way to diagnose them. Usually scabies leave a linear trail. You may also have a critter called a chigger- which does make a small red bump and itches like crazy. If all else fails, you can ask for the script for the scabies cream. It's not ideal to coat yourself in bug killer, but it will either solve the problem or not. If you do have scabies, you also need to wash any clothing that has come in contact with the spots.
