What Causes Itching All Over The Body With History Of Scabies?
Hi, I was diagnosed with scabies last December. A couple of days ago I started experiencing symptoms again. I m itching in all the same places, however, I don t have a rash. Is it possible that I have scabies again? No one in my family has had scabies or are experiencing symptoms.

Hello.
I just hope you completed your prescribed course, and if you did that is a good thing. Another thing with scabies is that you need to most probably dispose of your entire bedding, even mattress, and either boil all your clothes or dispose of them as well. In most cases, this is done by burning them all. If you failed to do this, then there is a chance that the mites that were in your bedding or clothing can cause a recurrence. Please speak to your doctor about the same.
Best wishes
