Husband has not been bit at all! Please help Im goin crazy not knowing what this is!
Hi, Can you mention the exact areas where the rash appears? In scabies, rasChatDoctormonly start on skin fold areas (wrist, elbow, umbilicus, genitals, ankles) and the itching is particularly troublesome at night. Appearance of similar lesion in daughter further supports the diagnosis of scabies, as this is contagious. For treatment of scabies, steroid shot may not help. I used to give anti-scabies creams like 5% permethrin to be applied all over body below neck overnight two times, one week apart. Antihistamine tablet like levocetirizine 5 mg at night for 5 days can relieve itching. All members in house need to be treated simultaneously, and all garments hot washed, sun Chat Doctor.  Kindly discuss with your doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
