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.

Hi, \n\n  Its possible. They live in your intestine and use the nutrition that you eat to live. They can cause the symptoms that you described. She did give you the right medicine to treat you. Worms are more of an occurrence that happen to small children that play outside in the dirt and put their hands in their mouth before washing them. I think you'll be fine.

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!!

Sounds like ring worm to me. Your MD will probably prescribe an anti-fungal cream

Although some people have suggested scabies, it doesn't strike me as sounding typical of scabies (location is usually first noticed on wrists). Sounds possibly like urticaria (hives), which could be an allergic reaction, or could be a physical urticaria, such as pressure urticaria. How long have you had this? Does heat, such as from a hot shower, make it worse?  Is the rash worse after sitting for extended periods, or if you're sweaty? How big are the wheals (individual mosquito bite looking things)? \n\nTry bathing with Aveeno, it;s an oatmeal powder that is made to mix with bathwater, you can find it at any drugstore. Mix one packet with warm water (not hot - heat will likely make the itching worse) and soak for as long as you comfortably can (15-30 minutes).  OTC antihistamines such as Benadryl may help, but it's better to consult a doctor than trying to dose yourself with medications.\n\nIf you've had this rash for a while (weeks or months), you really should consult with a doctor, since there are some systemic conditions, including cancers, which can cause a persistent rash. Not to scare you, but they should be ruled out.

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!!)

You may have come in contact with something you may be allergic to. It could also be eczema or psoriasis.  It's best to let a professional diagnose you then us.

behind the knees sounds like exema, try elidel or triamicinolone cream, should work if its exema.  If its scabies, need something else.  exema can be stubborn, may take awhile.  keep on it.

I think that the type of scabies that foxes carry is actually called 'sarcoptic mange'.  They can easily transmit to humans, but don't like people very much.  I could be wrong, but at least you have a direction to take in your research.\n\nHere's what one site says:\n \nSince these varieties are not well adapted to humans, they do not produce the extensive tunnels and cause the advanced lesions and scabs over the skin surface.  They just burrow in a short distance and die.   This causes inflammation and the resulting welt.\n\nHere's another site:\n\nMite infections on humans are self-limiting (ie they go away on their own) as the mite is not able to complete its life cycle on the "wrong" host. The condition is extremely itchy, though, while it lasts. The mites are most active where skin is warm (in bed and where clothing is snug).

it could be a mild herpies infection. there are two types one is quite mild and one can be a b*tch. you should go to the doctor and get tested while the bumps are active ( culture) its better to know as this can be spread to the eyes and other areas of the skin. \nit may also be an allergic reaction to soap or other health care product.  \n  it  could be just a couple of pimples. only u and your doctor can tell for sure so dont put off a visit , ok
