end of pregnancy with scabies

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi! 

So yes am at my due date and did two treatments for scabies already, first not working at all and second starting to bring results, even tough, day one after it I had new rashes, litteraly seeing the mites diging and puting her egs (red bump) in my arms and rashes getting really worst. I felt better for some days (3 maybe) and pouf I can start feeling the crawling mites and last night was hororful in bed. Not just itchy but biting sensations. I know it is scabies. I dont doubt this but I feel it doesnt make sense with the atching cycle I read. Am I just permetrin resistant? or too much in my environment? I clean tough/ 

My partner have been having symptoms at first but not as much at all. Not anymore. 

Dr friend said I may be more resistant because of immune system at off with pregnancy. Maby also I do not do things right. 

My questions are; Is that ok to do a third treatment after 6 days instead of 7? More helpful or no? 

What do you guys think of the fact I have symptoms (new bumps and tunnels) after a treatment? 

I use apple cider vinegar as well on my itchy spot after 3-4 days permetrine as it helps and I must do smtg. 

I cry inside that baby gets it or that it hold my natural tendency to hold her, and I wish she comes late a bit so I can do an other treatment. 

I think it is totally chaotic and am not sure what I seek but advices and answer about the permetrin after 6 days. 

Does any of you have experience something similar (baby related) 

Thanks

PS, I know permetrin is strong for pregnancy but I considered it less worst then pass this heck to my newborn I love more then  anything/. <3

    If you did your treatments correct and did your cleaning they are gone! You just have post scabies symptoms. Just be good to you or skin now. It takes a month for the rashes in the itching to go away .

    Hey! So here's what I'm doing (and has helped). I'm sure you've already by this point of tea tree oil. Do that. It's good. Also, Dead Sea salt. I wouldn't imagine it's dangerous for pregancy, but I would double check. Just take a bath with it (I do about 2 lbs... you can get it on eBay or amazon in large quantities) for about 20 minutes a night (I also do morning). You can also rub the salt directly on spots. The only downside is major itching happens because it kills immediately. So try not to scratch, and worsen it. Also, kill carbohydrates and sugar. These help the critters to feast. I know it's hard. But it's actually good for your overall health and will build your immune system. Also I'd be taking turmeric. It once killed a bunch of boils I had. Very helpful. Hope this helps and hope all the best! Also also... sulfur soap. I'd use that too. It does a decent job. But just mostly tea tree oil and Dead Sea salt. Good luck!
