I know after treatment is no longer contagious, but it always seems horrendous.

I’ve already used the cream for three nights, I’m no longer itching but I still have the bumps.

Also has anyone had it on their face? I feel like my forehead is itching

Someone in my flat has scabies, and was just diagnosed yesterday. How long before the symptoms appeared has she been contagious?

The doctor says that I have had scabies for over 3 months, and I got treatment for it a week ago and it isn’t working. I am still itching and the original bumps are gone but new ones have came. Please tell me when this nightmare will end!!!

I have been itching all over my body for the past 4 months. I went to the doctor and they told me it was just really bad dry skin. I have tried all the soaps, oils and creams I can find and I still itch very bad. My brother and sister who I lived with over the summer have now started to itch and they have been told it could be scabies. I have no red spots or rashes. I have thought that if I have had it for this long, I would start to see something.

Scabies is a contagious disease that primarily affects children (especially those adopted) who live in orphanages, boarding schools and nursing homes. Adults are not exempt from this disease.

I had scabies, there are about two weeks no treatment. Yesterday, she wore a shirt that I put on when I got the itch and I do not know. I decided to wear it, then back in the cupboard. I got it for a minute when I decided not to wear. Now I’m itching may be a new infection.

Where I work we often have to house people for upto 24 hours. Often, these people have untreated scabies and I have heard that one good way of ensuring the eradication of scabies mite’s is to quarantine the room for a period of about 72 hours is this true?
