Have you started a thread on this? This might help alot of people!
i don't even know where to start with mine. i experienced itching (more like tingling) in my P*nis for about 2 weeks after which bumps started appearing. at this point the itching got too intense and the bumps spread to my scrotum. i could count well over 30 bumps at the time on that region also i started having a rash that had smaller bumps around my armpit, between my fingers, behind my knees, between my toes, on my b*tt and a bit more bigger ones between my inner thigh. I guess it spread to this extent because i was self medicating my self bacterias and fungi before getting my self checked up and the doctor diagnosed me with scabies using the symptoms i had. when i started treatment with benzyl benzoate the itching reduced a bit and the bumps on my b*tt, in between my fingers and toes, back of my knee disapeared after 4 weeks of treatment but the ones in my inner thighs are kind of turning to scabs. i am also getting scabs on the parts in my p*nis where i used to have the bumps. i want to know if this is normal. mehn..... i just want to have my life back
Amen
ive had a mite infestion mostley on my scalp. burrowing mites and sores. dr say nerves. i can agree because these mites did that. tried everything prescriotions etc. Sometimes home remedies work better. In the kitchen baking soda, venigar , salt,etc. sulfur(Nu Stock) for animals. its non toxic.
Hello everyone, i hope somebody will read this and help me. I've been struggling to treat my scabies for over a month now, and used 2 times permethrin in 2 weeks. the first 3 days every bump was gone but now they are re-appearing. Is this post -scabies? I washed EVERYTHING (60 degrees) and even went away from my home for a week.. the itching is the same as before and i'm just getting desperate and depressed. I don't feel like a normal person anymore. so is it normal to get new bumps or is this reinfection? I'm so done. Please help me
Over the counter medication did not work for me and i resorted to good old fashioned remedies, I read about NEEM oil disrupting the scabies reproduction cycle and so covered my whole body in it at night including my hair, not a pleasant smell, I also went on holiday so not sure if this also helped, but this neem oil has been used for a lifetime and it put an end to my scabies infestation
Just wanted ti add a few things- ive had scabies now, diagnosed anyway, for about 2 weeks, and i noticed myself that every time i went through the procedures of gettig rid of the scabies they just reappeared and still are continuing to do so.
HOWEVER, online i stumbled upon something that told me that permethrin cream only kills mites, not their eggs, contrary to what people say. My recommendation to anyone who is living with these creatures, only put in the effort when needed, treat whenever you see new burrows appear (look like tiny blisters with a hole in the middle) even if it means doing it every 2-3 days. This may be a way of killing the mites as soon as they hatch rather than just waiting every 7 days for them to lay new eggs and repeat the cycle.
I've read through this forum and it's been very helpful as I am currently feeling very down about having scabies. I've had them now for 6 weeks and finding it very disheartening. I freak-out when I see the slightest red mark on my feet (where I have the scabies) and I fear that I am over treating it.
Is it true that red marks/bumps can still appear even if the scabies are gone? Or is this a sign of re-infestation?
where did you get shampoo? I know it's in my scalp, my 4 yr old and 10 month old keep getting it too. Their De. wnt treat them unless they are showing severe symptoms, wnt do a skin test. My husband has not got it, refuses to treat. I'm loosing my mind.
same is happening with me. if you get rid of them please please let me know.
did you ever get rid of them?
I did. Scabies free.
I'm scabies free. No bumps, no itch. I used many things except pills. I hope it wont occur again.
At the final I used a new lotion named scab-eks in Turkey.
how?
I went through all the same treatments as everyone else. At some point the treatments triggered a breakout of horrible eczema that was miserable and similar to the scabies in symptoms. One seemed to blend into the other. It went away. I don't know at what point the scabies ended and the eczema began.

thank you so much for your post, i feel like i am never going to sleep again i am itching that much. i have done my first lot of treatment tonight after me telling my doctor what i knew it was, they tried to tell me it was an allergy even though i had explained that my daughters friend had it who passed to my daughter and then she has passed it to me. I have never experienced anything so irritating in my life ! I don't think I can take it much longer !
i have literally been going crazy. it all started because i work in home care and whenever i reached out about my client having a super bad rash and now i was starting to form one and i assumed it was scabies i would be pushed aside. i started bringing her to numerous doctors to only being told she was having a medical reaction to her medication and ahrugging off my rash as just a coincidence. she was literally covered head to toe. then a month ago my poor baby even started inching intense and formong a rash. still shrugged so then i finally got them to take a skin graph and they looked at mine again just to hear they cant look and just tell. sure enough a week later FINALLY i got the answer she had scabies and thats what mine was. The pharmacy refused to give me my two tubes for some reason while i waited on my poor daughters appointments today. Even the nurse couldnt understand why. Therefore we shared one bottle because of no choice to atleast try to pertain it. im now waiting on more bottles to arrive at a new pharmacy today but still no call. Its been hell and much worse since i used the first treatment even though it was not enough i cant tell if spots have healed or post scabies but it is much worse and so unbearable with the itch. I can definitely relate to driving you insane!
I was diagnosed with scabies 16 days ago. This is the worst experience of my life. I think I picked it up from a blanket I used at the blood center, while I donated blood. Seems so unfair that I'm being punished this way, just because I did a nice thing. I've used two tubes of 5% permethrin and tried making my own neem lotion (smells awful). I can only sleep if I take Benadryl and a prescription sleep tranquilizer. My life as I knew it is over. My days are spent entirely on vacuuming and laundry. The itching is horrendous and I don't know how much longer I can tolerate this. I'm filled with dread, knowing some of you folks have been dealing with this for months & months. I'm grateful I found this community on this forum. My husband has zero symptoms, which I'm happy for him, but it makes me feel extra crazy . Scabies has consumed my entire life now. ☹
