Have Weird Bruising Which Is Reoccurring Very Often

I have treated myself with the scabies cream medication twice now, once a week. I think my boyfriend may have it and we slept at his house yesterday, with his blankets that would be infected. I am starting to notice weird 'bruising'. It started with a 'bruise' on my left shoulder and one on my chest. They didn't hurt, so I thought that would just happen with scabies, because I never fell or anything and the 'bruises' didn't hurt when I touched them. They just went away and now I have one on my left arm and lower chest, like my rib area. Again, they don't hurt or anything and I don't know how I would have gotten them. On my right arm (the part of my arm that is opposite my elbow), I have these red bumb/ rashy looking spot things. I itch there a lot, due to my scabies. I just want these bugs gone and fast!! and I don't know what this 'bruising' is all about!?

Hi,

You may be right. You might have infected scabies from your boy friend. There may be papular eruptions on hands finger webs,elbow,groin areas,axilla and abdomen. You may be having mild to severe itching more at night. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Antiscabatic cream like permethrin may be applied on whole body at night for three days a week. Tab ivermectin 12. Mg weekly for 4 weeks and antihistaminics like levocetirizine daily at night till you feel better. Your boy friend should be treated as well. Improve hygiene. Avoid soap bath. Use dettol liquid for bath. Clothes may be washed in hot water.
I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
