Avatar n tn And after shower no itching also. She went to a doctor and the doctor said she has scabies. The thing is I live with her, our coats are in the same closet, we share blankets, we sit next to each other sometimes, we use the same chair for hours when we use the computer, we sit on the same couch when watching tv. I don't have any itchiness, Do you think that she has scabies and I am just immune to them after all these? Or it just some allergy?
Avatar m tn The treatments do seem to be helping to reduce the rash (I was given Valacyclovir and Mupirocin 2% ointment to treat both) but the itching is still out of control. Has anyone here experienced an aggressive itch related to these conditions, or do you think it's more likely scabies, or possibly an allergic reaction to some sort of insect bite?
Avatar f tn I have one that scares me its on the outside of my upper leg by my right knee it started like the rest. A lil pimple then it started to scab but then the scab started growing for no reason.

1744410 tn?1311288801 Okay, so I have these small red bumps all over my body. They are small, getting as big in circumference as maybe a BB (as in BB gun). They don't exactly itch constantly, only sometimes. Although they feel good to scratch. They swell up a bit, but never get white heads or pus, and when I squeeze them (gross I know), just clear liquid comes out, almost sweat like.
Avatar f tn The doctor labeled it as a form of mrsa and prescribed me Bactria ds 2 a day and mupirocin 2% creme. I have been using these for almost 5 days now and have seen no changes. I have also been using hydrocortisone frequently thoughout the day. The bumps are on my hands, feet, buttocks, waistline, arms, legs, and genitals. The worst bumps occur on genitals, waistline, and buttocks. I originally thought it was scabies, but nobody in my house at school has been affected at all..
1712311 tn?1308397237 I recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Scabies, an infestation with a mite, Sarcoptes scabii, for example, is very itchy, looks like small red bumps with a linear scale (burrow), can spread all over and often involves hands, feet, underarms, waistline, genital area. Burrows can often be seen between the fingers and on the wrists. Disclaimer: Dr.

Avatar m tn Hello, From the symptoms it can be folliculitis skin, heat rash, sweat dermatitis or scabies bites. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment and oral antihistaminics like Benadryl or Zyrtec are also useful for itching. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.
Avatar m tn s addressing the infection as it should, but the itching will be uncomfortable for a bit. You can call the doctor and ask if there is anything you can take for the itch specifically.
Avatar m tn t had sex for a good 4-5 months before this. She has no signs of anything so I am thinking this could be some kind of irritation. There is no white spots or anything like that. And they only stay red for a little bit and then fade but are still noticeable. There are no signs of any hair follicles, and wouldn't think there would be on the head. There is no signs of anything on the shaft or anywhere else. She did have scabies shortly before, but was treated.
1474733 tn?1287040149 Then I visited my daughter in florida and we went to the beach often I was there for almost a month and noticed they had almost gone. When I came back to Nebraska and stopped going to the pool I noticed they are coming back. I thought it might be dry skin but, it is not. I thought it maybe scabies but, they are not as I did have them one time. I am washing everything once again and going to use the petty egg and soak in oatmeal with tree oil as this does keep the itching down.
Avatar f tn Hello, From the symptoms it can be due to insect bites, hives, heat rash or scabies bites if the lesions are itchy and folliculitis if they are non itchy or painless and herpes sores if they are painful open sores that tingle and scab over. Take some oral antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin if there is any itching and apply some calamine lotion on the rash. Also wear cotton clothes and apply a topical antibiotic cream like Bactroban.
Avatar m tn I have only had sex with one person in the past 5 months and we live together so I know she is faithful and I know she is clean from her previous OBGYN visit. Another thought at first was maybe scabies? But they dont itch or anything, just get irritated when I touch them. Any advice would be great so I can have some peace of mind. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I have been itching for 6 months my fiance has been doing the same we do not have bed bugs, fleas, or any other bug in our home. I have been taking claritin, and benedryl, they do not work. The only relief we get is soaking in baking soda and that only last for about 15 minutes. We have tried hydrocortizon cream from the doctor this does not work. Can you help us. We also can't sleep very well because of this.
Avatar n tn So does my boyfriend and my boyfriends 3 year old son. We have all done the treatment for scabies and it did not help at all. Then the pediatrician said impetigo. Well that isnt working either. It is very frustrating to itch all the time, worse at night and not be able to do anything about it. It doesnt get worse, per se, just pops up on different parts of the body, mainly where clothing rubs. HELP!!!!!
Avatar m tn Typically it takes at least two weeks after infection for scabies to become symptomatic. The infection occurs and then the symptoms occur as the infected person begins to develop an immune response to fight the infection. For the same reason, it can take a week or more after treatment for scabies symptoms to improve. Humans and dogs can each have scabies but the types of scabies that humans get rarely infect dogs, just as the sort of scabies that infects dogs rarely infects humans.
Avatar f tn Accidentally, I sprayed mupirocin/Dextamethasone 5GM/45ML/0.1%, a compounded nasal preparation, in my eye. I rinsed the eye with water for about one minute. Eye has had 5 retina surgeries, has band kerapothy, and no lens. PCC told me it's ok because the mupirocin is also used for eye preparations. Correct?
Avatar f tn Is there any way for me to get rid of these mites once and for all? Went to the topix forum and nearly had a heart attack when I read about people having this for years. Thank you.
