My scabies looked like that, hopefully not for your sake.

Have you taken antihistamine?

Identifytherash · 09/03/2022 17:59

No I haven’t Taken antihistamines. I really hope it’s not scabies :( should I go to a pharmacy for treatment? Can they diagnose it? Or should I go to the doctors, would they even see me for it or is it too contagious?

I'd take some and see if it helps them see a pharmacist or GP.

BlanketsBanned · 09/03/2022 18:03

Either pharmacist or gp but warn them just in case

You can send your gp a photo

Oh your poor thing. It takes a few weeks to get the spots and itch so you picked it up 4 to 6 weeks ago iirc. Did they give you plenty of cream. I binned all my bedding and towels which was probably ott.

I would have thought scabies would be on the hands. Could it be folliculitis?

Are you sure it's not shingles?
