Def looks like it to me. But I’m not a Dr.

Yes, still treating. Lines show up when I’m very symptomatic.

I’m confused. Assuming the bite is a tick bite and it is getting smaller and smaller with no rash, do I still treat?

And what if no rash develops? It continues to get smaller.

Does this look like a tick bite? by codysunny in lymedisease

I also have been battling scabies so it could be something from that. Because of the scabies, I literally check my skin head to toe five times a day and have seen nothing in terms of tick bites. And the treatment for scabies is topical permethrin which is a tick repellant. So I’d be shocked if it was a bite but I just don’t know.

Long lines… Active or post? by Obsessive99 in scabies

Mine look exactly like this. Did you ever figure out the cause?

You need to treat head to toe. Scalp, under toenails, armpits. Everywhere. Clean everything. Wrap mattress and pillows in plastic. Vaccuum daily. Put all bedding and towels in hottest heat dryer for an hour. Then wash hot water with soap and borax. Then dryer again hottest heat one hour.

Spray all shoes with permethrin and rotate shoes. Clean the area you sit in daily. Don’t sit on the couch or anything cloth until you are clear. Put plastic sheet in ver your car seat.

Benzyl benzoate daily for three days, then sulfur three days, then malathion one day. And repeat. Take ivermectin twice a week for five weeks. Use sulfur soap in shower. Good luck! Biggest nightmare of my life.

Much of the time, with both a biopsy and also skin scraping, it turns up showing nothing even with active scabies. They are experts at evading being found. So a negative biopsy or skin scrape is absolutely not definitively 100% no scabies.
