Do not ignore itching, it can be scabies

[Frankybme]

If you and your family have a recent onset of itching, which is severe at night, then most likely you and your family are suffering from scabies.

Dermatologist and cosmetologist with Satguru Partap Singh Apollo Hospitals Dr Jatinder Gill says the problem becomes severe in winter.

She says the most common symptom of scabies is severe itching, which may be worse at night or after a hot bath. The infection begins as small, itchy bumps, blisters or pus-filled bumps that break when scratched. Itchy skin may become thick, scaly, scabbed, and crisscrossed with scratch marks.

The areas of the body most commonly affected by scabies are hands and feet (especially the webs of skin between fingers and toes), the inner part of wrists, and folds under arms.

She says if a person with scabies scratches itchy areas of the skin, it increases the chance that the injured skin will also be infected by bacteria. She warns that scabies is contagious and is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact or through sexual contact with someone infected with it. The infection spreads more easily in crowded conditions. “So, if someone in your child’s class or child-care group has scabies, it’s a good idea to have your child treated for the infection even before he or she develops symptoms,” she says.

Doctors treat scabies by prescribing a medicated cream or lotion to kill the mites. The cream should be applied all over the body, not just area with rash, and must remain on the skin for eight to 12 hours before it can be washed off.

This is why it's so confusing as to whether or not you're dealing with scabies or Morgellons, or something else. My experience is that its been difficult to get a proper diagnosis because unless you present with the exact textbook symptoms and rash, you will not be given a skin scraping or a thorough exam.

Thanks, Frankie for the information.

Hello, I'm new to the site. I would like to say that I was treated for Scabies, applying about 5 to 7 applications of Permathin, over a five month period, only to find out that I had Morgellons. What were suppose to be Scabies Mites, turned out to be the Black Specs that are part of the seven or more Morgellons Pathogens. I use clear 2" packaging tape to remove what is biting, stinging, or crawling on my face or other parts of my body.

Please go to YouTube and type: "Morgellons stuff that came off of me."

While at YouTube, please look at the other videos that I have posted. After you view the videos you can contact me.
