It cannot be avoided, as anyone anytime can get it. Scabies!! Well at least that what it looks like, I have been to my doctor who put me on some antibiotic tablets, I started them on saturday, he took a swab of a large infected sore that is on my arm as well. Other than that I have broke out in really small itchy lumps which blister pop and then scab over quite easily, the doc said it could be a couple of things but was not sure yet. Well me and the power of google thinks it might be scabies as it shows all the classic symptoms. Anybody else ever had this? if so what was used for the clearing of it? That is another subject altogether as there seems mixed opinions about treatment, because some of the stuff that can get prescribed contains chemicals found in pesticides. The best stuff I have found online is a mixture of hanukkah and tea tree cream. Apparently the tea tree has some amazing healing properties. Any advise on this would be great thanks
