Just returned from camping and swimming at a lake. Found black specks on my 8 year old and 4 year old. Mostly on their penis and 1 each in each armpit. They say they don t hurt or itch. My wife pulled them out with tweezers but they were very hard to get out. They seem to be blackish red in color and very microscopic. One was crawling on the tissue after it was removed. Any idea what they might be?
1.if it was crawling and if present on both the kids over penis and arm pit, mostly its scabies, and it is contagious between family members2. Caused by scopes scabies (a parasite)3. Treatment is wash your kids, including you and whole family with a suicide soap(head to toe), followed by application of malathion ointment(verbal m ointment) twice daily all over the body for 7 days4.wash all the linen at home(clothing, bedsheetsand towels) in hot water at the end of treatment5.treat residual Chat Doctor. 6.if any secondary infection of lesions, then local antibiotic creams like (mupirocin ointment) can be applied
