I found out i have scabies today and.....?!


Question: I found out i have scabies today and!.!.!.!.!.!?
Today I found out I have scabies!. I have been researching it and trying to figure out what i all have to do!.

My doctor told me what i had to do and said you usually get it from sleeping in same beds and close contact and i told him i have been sleeping in the same bed as my son!. He told me to keep an eye on him and if he looks like he has it call the doc!. Well i think i see some on him and the prescription that i got (Permethrin 5) says that children over 2 months old can use it!. My question is do you think if i have leftover should i put it on my son because I can't get him in till Monday!. Wouldn't it be stupid to treat myself now and him be untreated till monday and all this washing be for nothing!?!.!.!.I don't know what to do!. Someone PLEASE HELP ME!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When my son got scabies, the doctor told me to treat everyone in the house that has had contact with him!. Also, all bedding, stuffed animal, and anything that either of you have had contact with should be washed in very hot water or put in a bag for a few days!. I would say if your son is over 2 months old, use the medicine, if he is younger call the doctor- he/she should have an answering service or an on-call doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
