Me and my girlfriend have scabies like symptoms, I just went to the Dr. and the assistant looked at a bump on my hand and said it was most likely scabies, I was prescribed the ointment. My girlfriend just informed me she had some in her mouth this morning. It says scabies can t attack your mouth, so what could this be??
