Anyone know if this is really Scabies?!


Question: Anyone know if this is really Scabies?
So my household has been treated 3 times with perm. cream. My husband and 5month son don't have any bumps. My 1 1/2 yr old daughter and I have bumps, mine are on my palms and her's are kind of through out her little body. I have been cleaning like crazy and don't know what to do beside keep treating with the wonderful posion. I really hate this and believe it may not be scabies. My parent's watch our little ones about 1 or 2 times a week and their house doesn't have any scabies- they treated just to be safe. I am really confused, I didn't think that they could live on the palms of your hands and I got a few new bumps about 3 days after we treated. They look like little red blisters and then looses the redness and forms a black dot in the middle. My daughter's doesn't look very obvious like mine do. Could someone relate to my story? I am starting to go crazy!!! I feel like we can't leave the house or hang out with anyone- but it's also weird that it's only my daughter and I that have them seen they are suppose to be VERY contagious...HELP!

Sounds like it, but I don't know for sure. You should definately see a doctor. Good luck!



You didn't say if you have seen a doctor. As a general rule, scabies usually appear on the abdomen and it will take Rx medicine to treat.



The cream does not really work you need to use lice shampoo that will do the trick keep it on the skin for at least 20 to 30 mins the best lice shampoo to use is from the doctor giving you a presciption for some over the counter stuff i would not trust that is how my mom treated me for them years and years ago and they were gone right away and make sure you wash everything that is washable and bag the other things up for at least a month and they also have that spray stuff that kills lice i would spray that on the furniture and the beds

EDIT:Scabies are body lice so yes lice shampoo works the best
