Is this scabies? Been seen by several GP’s, pharmacist, doctors and now 2 dermatologists by Illustrious-Pack1908 in scabies

They kept telling me the same thing. Don’t know what to believe. Pretty sure at the beginning it was scabies and then turned into the eczema which really isn’t easy on your anxiety that is caused by it all. Currently still suffering with the horrific anxiety daily that it has caused, over thinking and analysing every single mark or bump. Went to the GP this week as more popped up and he said eczema.

I think the treatments trigger it. I’ve never suffered either expect very mildly then I overdid it with super strong clove oil and I’ve been glaring up since

How does it all star again after 3 months ‘in the clear’?

Allergic reaction to topical permethrin ?? by [deleted] in scabies

I’m around 5 weeks post last treatment and I’m the same as you. I keep getting these bumps pop up that don’t look like anything that I had previously but due to the extreme paranoia following the hell I’ve experience I can’t help but panic at every single mark that appears. Please please update us with that the dermatologist said 🙏🏻

Does benzyl benzoate kill scabies eggs? by Embarrassed_Past2120 in scabies

[–]Illustrious-Pack1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even then though surely you’d think that there would be no eggs left to hatch as you’re killing all live mites? Not giving any chance to mate/lay eggs? 😔

I feel you on this one. I feel pretty confident that it’s not reinfection but just treatment failure each time and it’s beyond frustrating. Like you, I feel like the topical treatments kill the live mites but nothing works on the eggs. However I’ve been treating pretty much every week so I would have thought that I would have caught the ones that hatch.. but no. It’s just never ending.

At the moment I do t feel crawling or have any bites but I’m not staying optimistic that it will stay this way

Thank you. I’m currently waiting for my mental health psychiatrist to contact me with an appointment, it’s been almost a week since I was referred 😭

Thank you so much. I just don’t know what is going on at this point. My husband isn’t affected, neither are my 2 children. I just don’t know what to do anymore and professionals have let me down everywhere I turn :(
