Can Scabies Come Without Rashes?
Thank you for your help. Can a person continue to have scabies without a rash? Or, to put it another way, can the scabies rash come and go and the person still be infected with it? I had a rash that my doctor diagnosed as scabies, but the red bumps are nearly gone now. And, I might add, I never really had serious itching.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
As you had scabies and now cured with the treatment
If there is no rash or small eruptions on inter digital spaces and you have completed scabies lotion application, chances of giving infection to others are rare.
But as you had scabies, go for application of anti-scabies lotion to your family members staying with you if not done previously.
Ok and bye.
