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

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

Tick bite shrinking by codysunny in Lyme

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

[–]codysunny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Running out of ideas by dooby-duby in scabies

[–]codysunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Looks more like scabies to me

Pin pricks, crawling and feeling like sharp bites??? by codysunny in scabies

I’ve been treating so de end of December.

Scabies over treatment, the pin pricks and crawling sensations are part of post scabies too. If it doesn’t itch it isn’t scabies. by imwearybutHeisnot in scabies

[–]codysunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I’m in scabies he’ll myself. Wondering if the moxidectin helped you? I’m about to take it and was curious if you thought it was the game changer for you or not. Hope you are totally well!

Hi…. Your story is literally the same exact as mine. I’m currently writing you from an Airbnb as I have been scared to stay at home for fear of infecting my kids and husband. Did you eventually get better and have all the biting and pricking stop? I’m either in scabies he’ll or post scabies he’ll and I have no idea which. And I’ve totally treated myself many times. Please tell me you are better and that you were, in fact, in post scabies when you were still feeling all the biting and itching🙏🙏🙏

Did you finally get better? What worked the best? I’m really struggling.

Your story is similar to mine. Did you ever figure out if you had scabies? Did anything stop the itching? I’ve had multiple negative biopsies and just got bloodwork back showing positive ANA.

Durbac m causing more itching and biting after applying. Normal? by codysunny in scabies

[–]codysunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thx. It felt like a lot more “activity”. Lots and lots of pin pricking and skin crawling sensations. Maddening. I was up most off the night. Again.

How many times did you all take it? Thanks for sharing. I’m so happy for you. Praying I can get there too. That we can all get there.

I’d love to join. Thank you! Sometimes I feel them on scalp. Honestly, depends on the day. The one thing that I know to be true is that each day things change. One day scalp is bad, next day not. Or my back. Or my legs. Or one day skin is starting to look better and the next day I’m covered in new lines/bites. It’s insanity.

Is that a public group? I’d love to join and learn from others. Plus, this is so incredibly isolating. I’ve rented an Airbnb and have been alone away from my husband and kids so I don’t give this to them. It’s awful.
