What Would Cause Bruising On My Thighs?
I self diagnosed my family for scabies after three visits to doctor over dry skin and possibly allergies. We used the Prometerin treatment two days ago. We are still itchy but I understand it will take two weeks to shed the bugs from our skin. My question is why are my thighs bruised. Am I itching that much at night and causing bruising?

hi
this seems to be scabies with secondary bacterial infection , can be due to the itching or the lesions getting infected.
application of 10% benzyl benzoate or permethrin is the treatment for scabies
it is better to meet your dermatologist, to add up with one course of anti-biotics to prevent the dermatitis or secondary infection.
please do not meddle or scratch the infected area.
all the best
take care
