Below is an image taken ten minutes ago. I used permethrin cream last afternoon, waited 12 hours and showered. Treated all my clothes and bedding in hot water and then at least 60 minutes in the dryer. Don't know if this is scabies or not anymore. I'm losing my mind. I have to pay for my cream now that my insurance won't cover any more. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I don't sleep much anymore and I'm completely isolated out of fear and embarrassment. I do everything I'm instructed to do and it's been 4 months without relief. Generally I get a day after applying the cream and then this comes back. I'm going to apply more cream now. Do i maybe have something that isnt scabies?

    The cream is causing the rash. Those are hives. U don't have them anymore. Be good to you skin and stop treating . Been there done this and after you treat properly then stop. It takes months for the skin to calm down.

    Hi

    From what I can see it doesn't look like it. Is it one area or are you covered completely ?

    Hi, I am no Docter but that is defiantly an allergy and not scabies. I can see by the picture and I had the same problem like that. Your body looks healthy but you should maybe check what supplements you are using that can cause this problems. I am just taking a chance but that really looks like allergies. Good luck
