Do I have scabies or hives??
Posted , 3 users are following.
Over a month ago I started having several itchy bumps appear on my hands shortly after waking up. They would usually disappear completely within a few hours. I had had this happen to me before, and it wasn't too severe so I ignored it. Then a few days ago I got a patch of many itchy bumps on my wrist. After using benadryl they went down but did not disappear. For the past few days I have been getting 2-ish new outbreaks per day, and again they have been improving with benadryl use but not disappearing. This seems different from what was happening before because they are not going away, and the bumps on more in number and clustered together. I am very worried that I have scabies because I read that wrist and between the fingers are common for a scabies rash. I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed hydrocortisone and said wait and see if it goes away or gets worse. Any advice or opinions?? First two pictures are recent, last two are from a few weeks ago when I was getting less bumps that cleared up during the day. Thanks!
