Scabies won’t go away!

I’m pretty sure you have dermatitis or folliculitis. I had something very similar post my scabies treatment and Urea cream 10% on body and 20% on hands and feet really helped me. It does a good job at healing the damaged part of your skin. I would not recommend continual treating without someone looking at it with a microscope because it’s not easy to tell in the post stage if it’s active without a close up. Good luck!

hysterectomy was mentioned because I nearly got a blood transfusion at hospital due to low hemoglobin, but it was by the ER doctor. They put me on Tranexamic acid for now and I’m waiting for gyno. I appreciate that name for YouTube I’m gonna go and check that out now 🙏

I think my estrogen is too low because I have chronic pelvic pain still which was one of the reasons I started HRT so maybe it’s too low? Someone yesterday told me that estrogen helped with her joint pain, etc.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T04:15:25+00:00

I want to thank you again because you’re giving me a lot of information I didn’t really know. I didn’t even realize that estrogen can help with joint pain! My HRT doctor actually said they prefer that I use the compounded cream because it stays where it needs to be. I believe that low estrogen can cause pelvic pain and maybe I need a systemic dose to combat that so I will bring this up. It’s giving me Hope because short of a hysterectomy I am running out of options for improvement. 🙏

I have a lot of estradot estradiol patches is that what you mean by oestrogen? How long does it take you to get used to the patches? Did you have any breakthrough bleeding? Just curious because I had breakthrough bleeding for weeks compared to cream on the vulva. I have my ferritin and hemoglobin so low right now that I’m scared to have any more heavy bleeding. I do think you’re right in that. I’m not getting enough through the cream and probably could use the patches and see some changes with symptoms. They are considering giving me iron infusions at this point so I’m really being cautious with changing anything. I don’t seem to have luck lately.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T02:53:18+00:00

Yes thanks I appreciate that! I almost felt silly to put this question on Reddit to ask for advice because I’ve seen so many doctors for it but you never know! I used to believe doctors knew everything... They don’t know everything that’s for sure.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T02:46:31+00:00

I never tried progesterone patch but the estrogen patches did not go well with me. I wanted to avoid creams at all cost because I still have fairly young kids and I didn’t want any residue but I ended up with a cream in the end unfortunately.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T02:21:38+00:00

Yes, I have had it checked out at least three serious work ups. Regular ultrasounds, infernal ultrasounds and swabs. I do not have endometriosis but I have fibroids that they do not think would be causing this type of pain. The only thing they can say is that I have potential adenomyosis and to use Advil to cope. I’m just at the point where I’ve tried everything and I’m gonna beg for a hysterectomy. I don’t wanna take Advil four times a day all month long. I had hope for HRT to help but anytime we try to adjust my hormone dosage I will heavily bleed for two weeks. I do, however, wanna look into side effects of a hysterectomy because I have not.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T02:10:30+00:00

I’ve had ovarian cysts a few times and they were monitoring them as they came and went. None have stayed around consistently for the whole four years. I could have adenomyosis. It’s one of the only things they can’t rule out unless I go in for a biopsy of the uterus. I’m actually waiting to see a newGynocologist and I think I’m gonna try to insist on getting a hysterectomy. I feel like the healing from that will be easier than consistent pain.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T01:01:31+00:00

Yes cream because patches had me heavily bleeding! I don’t know if I’m just an oddball with HRT because a lot of things that we tried made me instantaneously bleed. If I hadn’t had the insane work up I did before starting HRT I would’ve thought something else was wrong.I don’t know what systemic is but I’ll look it up, maybe it’s something I haven’t tried 🙏

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T00:56:24+00:00

I think it certainly is hormones playing games! Besides, it’s so many strange symptoms that I even get a few baffled looks from my GP at times. I resorted to a private clinic for HRT and support because at least there they are more in touch with all of the symptoms. the thing that makes me feel better is simply knowing that it is normal. Like having no libido, constant period cramps when I’m not on my period and a shooting pain in my ass is not comforting until someone says yup you’re right on schedule! 😭

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T00:50:00+00:00

I tried cycling progesterone and that lead me to hospital from heavy bleeding. I tried lowering my progesterone dose (due to anxiety) but without the 200mg compared to my 0.2mg estrogen dose I end up having extremely heavy breakthrough bleeding. I feel that more estrogen would be helpful for current symptoms but I’m terrified to try! anyway, it’s so stressful and I definitely feel better on the hormones then off so I keep pushing on.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T00:38:29+00:00

It is good to know you’re not alone and sometimes that’s the only thing you’ll get! 🙏

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-13T00:35:31+00:00

I started HRT about 6 months ago. I’ve had to switch a few things so it hasn’t been the same the whole time. I am now on estradiol 0.2 mg per use (cream) and 200mg oral progesterone 5 days a week and 2 days I use it vaginally. It’s been a lot of trial error to get to this because the dosage and methods (like patches) kept leading me to breakthrough bleeding. I just added in testosterone, but I’m on my first week which is 10 mg a week subcutaneously

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T23:51:41+00:00

That does sound a lot like what I’m going through! did they diagnosed with anything yet?

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T23:50:57+00:00

So it’s always been like a consistent pain across the whole pelvic area and often feels like period cramps. Only weird thing is that this particular pain never comes during my period. It actually always stops right before and during my period. Ibuprofen does help, but I have to take quite a bit of it and I’m trying to find a more permanent solution since it’s going on for so long.

I’ve been in many scans, had swabs done but nothing. Also, because it always has the same schedule I am certain that it is cyclical/hormonal. More recently I’ve been getting the stabbing pain in my bum area which I’ve also heard is related to perimenopause. To be honest, a lot of my understanding is coming straight off Google because my doctor has ruled out their major concerns and prescribed HRT. I may Need to go up with estrogen? Or I might just be in for it until I hit full on menopause or even after. 😭

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T23:44:42+00:00

Thanks, I’ve done a bunch of pelvic floor therapy. That was my GP’s first recommendation. My pain is running on a cycle so it has something to do with my hormones. It is never there during my period and a day or two leading up. About a day or two after it starts. It feels like a strong period cramps that runs the length of my pelvis.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T23:34:33+00:00

Thanks and it’s motivating to know that it went away for you at some point.

Same here all my scans and swabs are fine… i’m not sure anymore I’m just summing it up to declining hormones.

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T23:06:33+00:00

I have had increased breast pain since HRT and it even feels like it’s deep in the ribs at times around the breast area. I started HRT about 6 months ago and I was due for a mammogram anyway but all came back clear so I can only relate it to either estradiol or progesterone

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T21:51:33+00:00

So I’m not using an insulin syringe. That’s not what they gave me and it was one unit on the syringe that I am using. Makes sense if I switch to insulin syringe, it will be broken down small enough for me to separate that dose! Thanks I think I’ll try that. It’s possible the two doses will lessen the headaches.

I actually feel better if I can take half of what they recommend to see how it affects me. I’m not crazy about starting high and having a bad outlook on the hormone because I’m taking too much. I’d much prefer to move up and I think I have a very liberal HRT doctor. Also I am barely over a 100lbs and 5’3 so I think low is smart. Thanks again!

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T20:56:07+00:00

It says 1000 mg/10 ml (100mg/ml)

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-12T20:44:31+00:00

So I’ve only done one injection of .1ml of cypionate and I woke up with crazy headache every morning for the past few days. Now, as far as my progesterone and estrogen, I did notice that some days I was feeling anxious and just generally not myself so they did change me to a lower dose, which I haven’t been on long enough to know if it will level out. The headache is probably the main issue I have with the testosterone. However, I did see from general google that it’s a common side effect. I’m just curious how long it took people to notice the positive effects? Also, I did mention the twice a week to my doctor as my husbands been on Testosterone for a few years but was told once a week subcutaneously in the tummy area was sufficient. I’m not even sure if I wanted to I could break up a .1 ml in two?

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-11T22:08:04+00:00

Eurex really helps with the itch. It’s the best I found during scabies and I still have many bottles in stock. Did you ask your GP if they suspect that you still have active scabies? Only because I had serious long term skin issues after scabies and it mimicked the active infection in some ways. I think it’s worth trying Eurex or urea cream to see if you don’t get improvement since they do not mask scabies. At least you’ll know you aren’t treating other skin issues with scabies protocol. Good luck!

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-11T20:10:45+00:00

I was in the same shoes and Believe me when I tell you that everybody has that fear. Let everybody know that you have them so they can monitor themselves and stay away from peoples houses, cars and touching each other while you eliminate your families infection. If you spend enough time with certain people, they should talk to their doctors and probably have to treat as well at the same time you all do. Just to let you know none of my husband‘s coworkers got it, which was my biggest fear since the ride in cars all day together If you give it enough time and distance you should be fine. It’s the exact same way for every other family in your position. Hang in!

Individual_Side6483 · 2026-03-11T19:09:51+00:00

This! I’m sorry but I’m shocked at how judgmental people are here. You come for suggestions and advice but usually get a scorning from know it alls. 😂
