What Can Be Done For Symptoms Of Scabies And Some Similar Kind Of Parasite?
I am a 40 year old male and believe I have scabies or some similar kind of parasite. I need to find a physician who will seriously examine my problem and not treat my symptoms. I have never had any doctor seriously consider the parasitic possibilities. Please advise.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Scabies is a very common problem that can be easily treated with medication along with lifestyle measures such as washing sheets and clothes in hot water.
If your current doctor is not able to assess you then you may need to see another general doctor or an infection control specialist.
I hope this helps
