Have Scabies. Taken Steroid Cream To Stop Itching. Need Treatment
Is there a doctor that knows and can heal scabies? I have had them almost 3 months and have taken and done everything i have been told by my doctors. I have taken suggestion from my friends and on the web. I was told last Tuesday by the Dermatologist that I was clean. She checked me all over and said it didn t look even like scabies. My primary doctor said he wasn t sure and the first dermatologist I saw said he thought I had bed bugs and gave me a cream that is a steroid and says it will stop the itching. Now last night, 4 or 5 more have appeared. Did I say they look just like the pictures shown when you put pictures of scabies. I have frustrated.. I am 81 years young and just retired and have things to do and places to go. Thank you very much.
