These three weird bumps showed up on my wrist and I am terrified that it is scabies. I have been home from college the last four weeks and have only been from my home to the store. No unusual places. I watched my three toddler nieces and nephews that are in day care, and that is really the only skin to skin contact I have had (Changing Diapers, applying lotion for bed, etc). I have also not engaged in any sexual activities with anyone outside of my monogamous relationship. They don't itch and have so far not spread. I started noticing them on Monday, 1/13. I put permethrin on it last night and it really has not done anything. The dark pictures are the ink burrow test results that I magnified on my camera. Please help! Thank you
Hi! I know the worry, my family is dealing with this right now. Did you scratch them? Usually scabies are very itchy...so they say. But the first blister i got on my hand wasn't itchy at all. I saw a dermatologist and made them do a skin scrape. Which they then confirmed scabies. i doesnt really look like a burrow line from the ink test tho. I never has the typical burrow lines tho so im not a huge help with that. Kids do have scabies tho, especially of they are in daycares or schools its common. Best thing to do is go get it looked at. How did you get permethrin? Did you apply just to that spot or all over? Shan
also, it kind of looks more like bed bug bites maybe
Nope, they have not itched at all. I bought Nix lice kit which has permethrin in it ans applied it all over my wrist in hopes to stop the spreading. But it has not spread at all today. Hmm that is very concerning as well. I will make an appointment!
I just applied more permethrin and took another pic to see it clearer 
It could very well not be scabies, scabies mimics so many diff skin issues. if you start seeing it in other places or see little scratch lines sometimes big ans sometimes very small that do not itch, then i would lean towards scabies. Alot of the time they dont start going crazy until you start treating them.we had scratch lines from them burrowing and felt like little pinpricks. But i cant say either way for sure, a dermatologist cod do a skin scrape or most of the time just look at it and tell.
bed bugs bite in 3's.
Did you find out what it is?
You can quickly pull them out of there by using witchhazel. You will notice red and or little black specs. The red one we put under a microscope and saw the little mite. Also camphor can really take it down whether it's viral or a mite. just dab 100% on the bite a couple of times a day and it will go away. Stay on top of it! You can use tsal shampoo another user told me about which is 3% salicylic acid and that kills mites too. Your partner should be treated as well.
Mommacita, do you really think that this is scabies bite? Did you get such marks?
