Could someone please tell me what Scabies look like. I keep getting scratch like marks at night mainly but sometimes in a morning and when I've been in the water. Doctor says it isn't scabies but can't diagnose it

    It can be scabies. Drs arent always right. If you are getting any pink pumps that are in a group or hell just a few em that itch so bad you wanna rip your skin of thats one way to know. The leave burrows which are small lines in your skin so if you see any of that. Also it makes your skin real dries out almost like exzema. You can get them anywhere and they can spread. So cut your nails and be careful where you put your hands after you itch. U need to go to a diferent doctor. Tell him youd rather be safe than sorry. Trust me if you cure if quickly it wont be hard to get rid of.

    Scabies can be really itchy, but look for spots in a line (tell tale sign).  If you read most info it will say it is rare for them to be on face and scalp, not true!  Itch is worse at night, and they will literally go anywhere on the body.  It's shocking how little the average GP knows about this parasite, and how little choice of treatments there is available.
