Scabies Help Needed Please!

I follow your reasoning.  It's a pity I couldn't find my other photos... think my p.c. needs looking at. Bed bugs don't leave those marks, and without being personal, if you and your husband share thee same bed - then he would probably be getting it too.  Scabies burrows are different  Unfortunately I did pick that up when I was a teenager... boy does it itch all the time-  but again, it's highly contagious and your husband doesn't have it.    All I can tell you about mine was that after a couple of months of the crawling sensations , cutlike marks started to appear and they looked more like scratches. I too thought they were burrows but they weren't. Apparently the crawling sensations are caused by nerve endings  and the fibres come out via the hair follicles and it's that which cause the sensation. I also had and still have areas which are itchy and if I apply a cream and keep rubbing the area small blackish dots come to the surface. Under a microscope they look like balls of wound fibres..    Mine improved a lot when I started maintaining my PH around 7 all the time and stopped eating anything with sugar.

What is thought is that when your immunity is very low the body can come under attack by bacteria and fungus and it'd really the body's inability to defend itself. The other thing which may have beeen a contributing factor to mine was when I had the foot fungus  I also cracked an amalgam root filled tooth - when I broken it 6 months later , I swolled the filling ( not deliberately) and that's when the infection went skyhigh. That's also when the stinging sensations started too. They were sharp , almost like a being stabbed with a needle, if that makes sense.?

I really don't know what yours is... It  would be helpful if you think about the events which could have happened around the time your immunity was low.  When did the crawling start, were the marks before or after  etc.

With scabies it's very rare to get  them above the neck   unless it's a really bad infection and then it's normally a crusted type which is very different.

Sorry to go on about mine... maybe if's of no help to you... I can't think of anything  that's an insect which would leave marks like yours without there being a spot of some kind as normally the insect delivers some kind of verom even spiders or knats  when they bite.

Are you in an area where you may have been bitten by a tick? or do you handle organic compost materials at all for the garden.   It's a bit of a long shot I know.

I think it might be worth keeping a daily log about what happens each day and when and what you are eating etc. 

Take care Marilyn... if I can be of any help please just let me know.

That's a long way off, where do you live.  I'm in the U.K. and had to wait 17 weeks to see the dermatologist, another 7 weeks to get a result... which told me very little. nor did paying £170 for a private test, As I suggested, do keep a daily diary because as time goes on events seem to get jumbled up and it will be useful when you are asked to relay what's been happening. For me, just knowing what it was  gave me some kind of relief... even though morgellons is as equally unpleasant - so I do very much understand what you are going through. 

Forums like these are a great help as it's a way of contact when one is feeling very alone. What I will say is don't use anything on your skin which is harmful, I can't tell you the damage I did to mine through some of these weird and wonderful ideas. By the way, I don't know if you do know but if you have small sores which don't look as though they are healing a 3% hydrogen peroxide  can kill any bacteria present, without burning the skin. Don't use anything stronger as it will burn.  If by any chance you do find anything coming out of your skin or in your hair just use something like a urine sample test pot with a bit of rubbing alcohol or even surgical spirit in it to preserve it.  There's no need to spend loads of money especially when you don't know what you're treating.  

Take care,

Sorry to hear of your pain with this horrible horrible infection. I found the only way to kill them off is to soak in a bathful of bleach, clove oil and orange oil. It's truly amazing. Soak as long as you can and suffocate the little beggers!! They shouldn't be able to live without a host?! Wash bedding and towels etc and Hoover your mattresses. I wish you the very best of luck.

kindest regards,
