Is there any specific place where you contact scabies, I actually where people get infected scabies, When do you actually notice the first trace of the scabies and the itch. It started with a rash which I thought was due to the allergic reaction of the hair dye. After some time after visiting many dermatologists, I just realized it as scabies.

All we can do is just Eden, how could we exactly know that you are healing?. May be you should see your dermatologist once again and confirm.My guess is that if you caught it early, treated all over with the perm, and don't get reinfected from clothes, bed, home, etc. that you could be done. Bumps almost gone is a very good sign.I just feel use of perm 4 days later must have also saved you,you must use it once again after 4 days to be on the safer side.

I m going on 4 years with this scabies...I have tried everything under the sun 5 timess
over, seriously scabies is one shit which tests anyones patience .

maccus, I hope your laundry is separate in the boarding home and no one else catches it. The other threads are well meaning but go around and around. No one should have to live with this for years. There is a cure for this definitely, I have read a lot about this on net .

God I found a burrow on my face!! Also when you scratch you detach mites and its under your finger nails and if you scratch your head or face on accident the goes the mites in that area.. Basically you helped the scabies transfer to new area.. This is why you want to clean your nails all the time everyday..You should be extremely clean with your nails.

More like birds, the birds are very active during the day, biting themselves if they have mites, flying around. Mites need blood to reproduce.The mites leave your skin in the day time when you are actually,may be they just don’t want to fall off skin.Night time is when mammals relax and sleep. then it's time for the mites to reproduce. they are very good at survival.
