Help! I have been so itchy & have little bumps??!


Question: I have been itchy for about a month now. My body all over & even my head. Then I get these tiny red bumps (like bug bites) on the palm of my hands & arms & stuff. They kinda hurt & are very annoying, but really tiny. I had people check me for lice. I also checked my bed many times fro bed bugs. Nope. Nothing. What can this be??? Help!! Also I have a rash on my elbow for like a month. I don't have health insurance so I havent went to the DR. Thanks

sounds like scabies! U might need to go to the doctor and if it itches more at night that is what it is. U can try this and see if it helps go to wal mart and get some tea tree oil. and rub on body after you get out of the shower. wash ur bed sheets and everything in hot water and in the dryer over 20 minutes on high.

It is something people dont want to get but it happens u are not nasty and u could have gotten it from a dog or cat. Or being incontact with someone who had it u can get it from ur jacket being on someone elses and they have it it can live up to 48 hours on something without being on skin. Good luck u can look up online and find out what u can buy for it. or u can go to the doctors.

I asked a question a minute ago for u about what u can use to get rid of it and someone said
""Scabies is a form of Lice.
Use lice medication from store... and do house...pillows etc.""


Scabies is not lice but can be treated the same as lice.
There are a couple steps to treat and eliminate scabies.
Scabies is curable so tell your friend not to get down if it doesn't work the first time. Just make sure he/she does everything properly.

1) LAUNDRY. This is very important. Wash all bed linens and dry on HOT cycle every 2-3 days. You can dry clean or store non washables (plush animals) in a sealed plastic (garbage) bag for 2 weeks.

2) Trim your nails

3)
Ask for a product that contains Premetherin (Nix, Kwellada). Ask your pharmacist, it's behind the counter. On day 1, take a warm bath but allow the skin to cool before application.

Then apply head to soles of feet and make sure you get all the medication into the creases of fingers, toes, armpits etc.

Leave for 12-24 hours then wash off.

RETREAT in 7-10 days.

4) LAUNDRY, I can't stress this enough, wash everything and put anything that is not washable into the plastic bag. Also vacuum the carpet and furniture.
