if you got rid of the scabies you can use cortizone cream to help with the itching..
My daughter has recently realized that she has scabies, does anyone know what type of medicine we should use to treat this? Her doctor has perscribed her methylprednisolone but I was just curious if anyone knows of any better medications there are for this.
They may be bug bites, or it could be scabies. Ask your pharmacist for advice. If it is scabies, you will need a different type of lotion to treat this.
Best thing to do is to vacuum your bedroom and every nook and cranny and the creases of the bed and mattress and under the bed and the headboard if you have one. Vacuum the curtains and skirting boards too.
oh and i know it is not scabies, my husband nor my son has this... and it is recurring about once a year or so.
) The strange thing is they seem to become inflamed in the middle of the night. Could this be scabies? He seems to think it may be some kind of allergy. Does everyone have the same kind of rash or bite marks with scabies? I dont know what to do since they are dormant throughout the day and are only juicy at night. How can I get this properly diagnosed?
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Itchiness of the whole body could be due to extreme dryness of the skin or due to jaundice. It could be due to iron deficiency anemia, liver and kidney disorders, thyroid disorders, polycythemia, diabetes and malignancies (cancer). It could also be due to certain medications and food. Others could be due to skin conditions like contact dermatitis and scabies.
Hello,
Itchy rash on arms and legs can be due to many causes like dermatitis, lice, scabies and hives, eczema, lichen simplex chronicus, stasis dermatitis of legs or viral infections. You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching.
Perscribed me with cream for the bump, and a different cream for my acne troubles. She said the reason it is not scabies is because there was no itchyness or nothing on my hands.
At about 10pm I started to notice tons of little tiny red dots on my thighs that appears out of no where, and some on my knuckles.
It might just be dry skin in my just be a heat rash but they showed up quicklly, and are just about everywhere and I mean everywhere.
Ive been to two differnt doctors and they dont know what it is. One doctor gave me cream to treat scabies but they said that it is presented strangly if that is what is it. the lotion didnt seem to help at all. I cant get a dermatologist appt for another month and am wondering if anyone has any answers?!!
Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g.
Hello,
Such an itchy skin without any rash can be due to dry skin, allergic reaction, viral infection, scabies, body lice etc. You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching. You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.
from reading up online my symptoms seem to fit scabies the best but the doctor at the walk in clinic said it was definatly not scabies, although she did not examine my genitals just my inner thighs and the back of my legs. It seems that my itching is worst at night and after showers which i read is consistant with scabies; however, my girlfriend does not have any symptoms, nor my room mate.
Hello,
If the spots have suddenly appeared then it may be due to an allergic reaction but other possibilities like viral rashes, fungal infection, hives, scabies also need to be ruled out. Scabies is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
I went to the Doctor and was given a perscription for Mometasone Furoate Cream. I used it and the rash continued to spread. I now have it on my arms, legs, back and butt. I have tried Caladryl Clear and it relieves the itch, but the pimples remain. The have been taking the following medications: Simvastatin 40mg, Lisinopril 5mg, Asprin 81mg, One a day Vitamin, Recent changes to my medications are Acarbose 25mg, and Zyrtec 10mg. Could any of these medications be causing the rash???

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
t gotten any closer to a solution. My dermatologist suggested a cream to cure scabies but after two applications, my itching still persists. I've tried several creams and am even taking hydroxyzine(sp) to help me go to bed at night. However, nothing is working. I'm going to see an allergist on Monday, but I was hoping that you may be able to suggest something else.
I'm trying to problem solve and eliminate things that may be causing it.

I went to the doctor and she said scabies. Both me and my partner were treated with permitrin(?) cream. She washed everthhing in the house... scrubbed and cleaned. It got better for about a week and then came back. The second trip to the dr, and I was put on the oral medicene for scabies. Mind you, my parter has never broken out. Once again it cleared up, but returned within a week. I have been reading blogsand niced a lot of people with this mysterous problem.
