Several Little Bumps In Legs And Arms. Treated For Scabies Many Times. Could It Be Misdiagnosed?
I treated myself four times for Scabies when I was diagnosed from an ER with it about a month ago. Several little bumps in different areas. Legs and arms mainly. Do you think this is a reinfestation or could it be misdiagnosed? I don't know why treating myself with the cream four times wouldn't work if it was scabies. I bombed my entire house, rewashed everything, bleached everything.
