Diagnosed Scabies. Started Itching On Breasts, Itching Worsens During Shower
My step daughter and her family live in another household and have been diagnosed with scabies. My 9 year old daughter has started itching on one of her breasts with mosquito like bumps. They seem to start after she gets in the shower, the itch I mean. She said sometimes they itch outside of the shower but are worse in the shower. Could this be scabies?

Hi. It could be scabies. After a scrub bath apply 5 % permethrin neck downwards on whole body, single application overnight. Better if the entire family uses the same way. Wash/dryclean all clothes and beddings
