How can you get scabies?
101033
If you really want scabies(body lice), go to a second hand store in a bad part of town and start trying on suits and clothing.  You'll eventually get it.  \nScabies can be contract through unclean and tainted clothes, bed sheets, matresses, etc. Getting rid of it is the problem (two bottles of Rid in four treatments, plus washing EVERYTHING!!)

Could be anything from genital herpes to scabies. Your best bet would be to go to the doctor and have a complete STD panel done, just to make sure.

Scabies are not usually "immune"  You might be being reinffected.  You MUST wast all of your linens in hot water and all people int the household must be treated at the same time or they will return.  They also can cause severe skin irritation.  Call uour Dr and ask about getting retreated.  Also make sure you have treated your house.  (Carpet, mattress etc  or they will not go away)

Scabies are a skin parasite and while they are contagious are usually only passed if you share a bed or have alot of skin to skin contact.  You do want to go to a doctor to get the medicated cream and treat your bedding etc as you would if you had a lice infestation.  The bumps are in the warmest most moist areas of the groin between the toes and fingers behind the ears around arm pits etc but will burrow everywhere in a large infestation...the "bumps" itch and can be scratched open and bleed which leads to further infestation and infection.  If treated properly it should go away.  Improperly sanitized hotels spread this parasite...always sleep between the sheets.  Good luck!!

I don't know where they come from, either, but you don't have to have poor hygiene to contract lice.  It's usually spread by little kids who are in close contact with one another- one kid has it, and soon the whole class has it, and then their families can get it.  We should teach children not to share combs/brushes, etc., and check their hair regularly to stop the spread of lice.

First dont think there is anything dirty about you. When I was twenty my toddler daughter got it on her ankle and I was mortified,.  I thought only dirty people got them. The only thing dirty about it is that is where she got them. The doctor told me they lived in the dirt outside. And yes they are highly contagious.\nIf a toddler or infant gets them you should only apply the Lindane to the affected areas with a cotton ball and then after the prescribed time wash it off. This is to prevent them from absorbing too much of the medication through their skin.  In older children and adults you need to apply it everywhere and then wash off a instructed.\nWhen my youngest got them, this time from a friend whose entire family had them, he gave them to the entire family before I even knew he had it. This time my oldest son was a teenager and when he was told to apply and then shower he didn't put it on his genitals and guess what!?  Yup, we all got them again.\nThey definately like to live in warm, dark and moist spaces, but if not treated right away they will spread and they do this by burrowing under the skin.; As disgusting as it is scabies are a live mite that is living under the skin and they can travel. So the most common places are the finger webs, under breasts, elbow crease, groin and so on, and the most common formation is kind of lines of bumps that are formed as they burrow along.\nBy the way, yes you need to wash all the linens and the clothes they wore but you do not need to treat the whole house with the sprays and stuff. These things are for lice not for scabies.  Hope this helps

There are many things that can cause itching.  If you live in the south and ramble in the woods or in tall grass, it could be chiggers....a minute little bug that gets on you and bites.  Or one of the poisons...ivy,ect.\n\nIf you have been to a hotel you could have gotten bed bugs.\n\nI would suggest that you and your father see a dermatologist.  This is a skin doctor and help is there!  If the itching is severe, creams with benedryl in them help and so do the benedryl pills.  Just until you can get to a dermatologist!

care homes are big carriers because they keep the home so warm. Qual lotion is the only way to rid the body of scabies. the home has to be cleaned from top too bottom.all bedding,clothes you have worn need to be washed,hot dryer, no clothes line.scabies can live in the floorboards bed rails, they need to set beds out in the sun after their cleaned with lysol.

Initially I thought scabies, but you said there was no itching. It could be warts. Try the symptom flowchart at http://familydoctor.org/x2552.xml

It doesn't sound like you have scabies.  Scabies is a "bug" that burrows under the skin and itches like a son of a gun.  It is not something that just goes away and the comes back.  You may be having some sort of allergy to something your eating, or medication your may be taking.  Also, you need to describe what the infection looks like, i.e. rash, vesicles, bumps, etc.  My advise is to see your doctor.  If you doctor is unsure of what it is, they can refer you to a dermatologist.  Good luck, and don't wait any longer to see your doctor..two months is long enough to go with this issue.

Yes, you could get them later if you are exposed to them (get near someone who has them during their contagious stage). They are more damaging if you get them as an adult.  You might ask your doctor if you can get a vaccination for them or what recommendation he/she would make for your protection.\nDon't wait, the sooner the better.
