Scabies?

Help! Took a Ryan Air flight 5 days ago, then stayed in a hotel, two days later I have one red mark back of thigh and two pimplely ones on front of thigh. Last night it was raised no head, today it has a white head. The redder one is completely flat now but maybe getting bigger. They don't itch. I have come out in a stinking cold too. Scared of scabies! Looked for bed bugs but couldn't see any. Went to a house with cats.

You wouldn't be showing symptoms after 5 days, it takes weeks (unless you have had it before) so you can rest easy.

Totally relate though as I've developed a huge fear of scabies and bed bugs lately too which is how I found this thread.

I travelled 6 weeks ago and have developed one spot on my wrist and am freaking out that it is the start of scabies.

I'm inspecting my skin so much, I'd never realised how pimply it was and every pimple makes me free out!
