I feel so incredibly embarrassed even writing this.
Back in February, I met a 'lovely' man, ended up getting in a relationship, a few weeks after he came out in a rash that started on his forearm and gradually spread all over his body, he claimed to have went to doctors and even the sexual health clinic who didn't seem to know.
Me, being silly didn't know what scabies was, or looked like and I just kept telling him he will be ok, reassuring him as he was so down about it, we had sex a few times whilst he had this rash because again, I didn't know what it was, neither of us did, well turns out he actually knew now.
Long story short, he cheated on me and the girl had told him she had scabies before the rash even came out on him, then played it out to me like he had no idea, even willingly gave it to me. Doctors eventually said it was scabies so he said... I was upset but I didn't use my due diligence so I didn't really have a cause to be mad.
Anyway, how I found out he gave it to me because of the girl is because she contacted me as she saw him post us and tagged me on social media and let me know, she even sent the screenshots of her being apologetic and things about giving the scabies to him.
We broke up because he also gave me an STI along with that, a man of many gifts!
My concern now is that since this rash has came on my skin, I have not been able to get rid of it!!! It physically won't go. I've done absolutely everything right and I just keep coming up with more spots every single day. I've tried the lotions and they haven't helped. The doctors have now referred me to dermatology as they say I probably have a resistant form. The itch is unbearable. It's my best friends wedding next week and I was supposed to be a bridesmaid but unfortunately because of the scabies, she had to tell me I won't be able to as we were all supposed to get hair and make up done together and admittedly that wont be right of me to do. She said I am welcome to still come and stay over at the venue but I can't get my hair or make up done and to also not be hugging anyone.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling extremely depressed about the whole thing. I've even met a lovely man, but seems we won't work because I feel like this will never actually go and eventually I'll have to tell him as I can't maintain distance forever, I'm even tearing up as I write this. My ex truly was an evil evil man and I wish I never believed a word out of his mouth ðŸ˜ðŸ˜¢ attaching pics of the spots also.
