Could this be scabies?

I have a itchy rash mainly around my bottom/lower back and one side of my hip. I then get the odd spot on my leg, arms and belly. But its my side and lower back/bottom most itchiest and my stretch marks are not helping. I am absolutely horrified that this could be scabies 😱. Where can I get treatment from? Are there any natural remedies? I'm so embarrassed about going to the pharmacy as they are always so busy and no where private to talk or ask for advice 😢

It looks more like contact dermatitis to me. Can you go to a different pharmacy with a private room? Or you could just show the chemist your photos.

I was wondering if the elastic in my PJ's could have caused it. But the I get the odd spot on arm or leg. I've just changed my washing powder back to non bio to see if that helps

Try adding an extra rinse cycle to your washing too Smile
