Is this scabies??????

Question

I have these itchy red bumps on my arms. I'm worried it's scabies. I'm in very close contact with my husband and baby on a daily basis but they don't have any signs of it. I don't have insurance and can't afford to go to the doctor. Is there any creams or something else that actually work???

Answer

In my opinion this is not scabies! Scabies are smaller and alot more close together! And they are CRAZY itchy. To me they look like mosquito bites or bed bugs?!

Answer

Those look like bed bug bites. Bed bugs usually bite in a straight line. I had gotten bite by them and this is what mine looked like. We thought it was just an allergic reaction but it was bed bugs

Answer

I was told if there is a little black dot in middle of bite then its scabies.

Answer

Yikes those look like bed bugs. I’d rather have scabies than bed bugs.

Answer

Try hydrocortisone

Answer

It’s possible. Have uou visited a hospital or nursing home recently? My grandfather got scabies from a rehab/nursing home. Scabies are kind of like bed bugs as they’ll live in the beds and then burrow into the skin. There are some oils like tea tree or clove that may help kill them but it will take time and you’ll also have to treat your home such as bedding and clothes. But if your husband hasn’t had symptoms and sleeps in same bed then it probably isn’t scabies.

Answer

Could also be a reaction to something!
