i have posted in here before. we were treating for scabies for over 4 months. - then got the all clear. Derm says we probably got rid of them befor then, but I kept treating everyone - extreme measures like plastic over everything, freezing shoes, bleaching, wearing nothing for more than 8 hours. spent $350 on a dryer :) that was 3 months ago, and itching has been coming and going since, but dying down.- occasional spot, and kid has a little exzema (which looks nothing like scabies.
5 weeks ago had friends come and stay. one of the kids had 'dermatitis".they left 31/2 weeks ago, and last week got told that she actually had scabies (and would have had it for months). i immediately start itching hahaha
a full week after they left, my kid develops flat red sore rash surrounding wrists- looks nothing like scabies.not itchy, but really sore. doc says allergy. it dies down , but her hands remain super sentitive to soap
so now my itching comes and goes. I sleep fine with it - so doesnt get worse at night.. every 4-5 days ill take an antihistamine. massively sentitive hands, with faint pins and needles there and on feet. itchy lower belly sometimes, and cheeks. random itches too.
I have no burrows, no dry bumps on fingers or anything , just itching and sensitivity
somedays im almost convinced theyre back. others im ok. today, not so good ;)
so - is this just aftermath of scabies?
we were cleared 3 months ago.
if we had managed to be reinfected from friends kid (and there was no sharing of beds or towels) - that was between 31/2 and 5 weeks ago that would have occured. would we be seeing a lot more than just itchy hand? there's no scabbiness anywhere?!
any ideas?
