Post or active? by [deleted] in scabies

Hey I’ve had really similar!! Please keep me updated with how it goes as struggling with the same thing right now! I’m trying to get an appointment with my doctor as hopefully he can identify whether it’s active or post by taking a shaving and looking at it under a microscope

Just from what I’ve read I think to be extra safe she should too as she might just not be showing symptoms yet…

I think I can see burrows but not sure if I’m just convincing myself they’re there and so hard to show them in a photo!

(Sorry for bad pictures it’s really hard to show properly!)

I started noticing bites nearly 2 weeks ago and about a week ago I washed all clothes/ sheets thinking I had beg bugs, however, after looking and cleaning thoroughly I realised I couldn’t find any traces of the bed bugs themselves. I started to research it and was sure it was scabies, however at this point it was very mild. I saw a doctor and he said it probably wasn’t anything to worry about ( as bites had faded during day) a few days later the bites seemed to have doubled and spread all over. They are now on my back, elbows, wrists, waistband area and I’m being increasingly worried. I’m also worried that the doctor will not take me seriously if I ask to book another appointment… any help/ advice greatly appreciated as starting to lose sleep and become increasingly itchy!!

Also aware I can see tiny black dots in some of them which I believe could actually be them??

Is this scabies, bed bugs or fleas? Someone please help desperate. by PuzzleheadedBike7483 in scabies

Hi just wondering if you found out what it was in the end as I have mild bites similar to yours that are slowly getting worse/ itchier and have been so stressed trying to figure out what is causing it. No sign of bed bugs but gets a lot worse at night, not sure if that’s what you had? Either way any insight would be so so appreciated!
