File size is too bigAround 6 months ago I had scabies, Im not sure how I got it, I think it was from work. Anyway, i went through a few treatments, and thought it had all cleared since all the rashes had gone. However, in the meantime i still itched, thinking it was folliculitus on my legs. I also forgot to mention I have OCD, so attributed any itching to this obsession since i hated it so much. Now though, I think i may have found a burrow, and im really just wondering what everyone thinks?? is it still here or am i just going crazy??File size is too bigFile size is too big

    Unfortunately once you contract this horrible affliction it is very easy to pick it up again. The best thing to do if you think you have it again or still is to treat again. How did you treat it the first time? and are you able to afford treating it again? also remember that there are many other skin issues that can misinterpreted as scabies so don't freak out. Just treat again (maybe) to ease your mind and to be safe. take care.
