    I am really hoping that you can help me. I am tired of people asking me what they are. I do take care of my body. So I don't really see how they can be scabes? I am really hoping that they are not. I have a friend though and she has the same thing? She had it before me and I stayed at her house and I started to get them all over my body. He house is not that very clean so I think that might have something to do with it. I would just really like to get this fixed! I am tired of always scraching!!

    It does sound like scabies, unless it's bedbugs. Scabies treatment is an ointment that has to be slathered all over the body, front and back, so you need someone to help. Scabies will be all over the body except the head and feet. Bedbugs.. much worse, because it means your house is infected with them. Examine every inch of your bed and bedding (they will be all over the house).

    I forgot to say that scabies isn't your fault, no matter how clean YOU are, if you stayed in a house with scabies. And you do need to wash all your clothes and bedding used since getting them.
    If it is bedbugs, you have to get an exterminator, as well as washing everything.
    One clue that they would be scabies (aside from not being on the head and feet) is that scabies tends to start on your middle and work outwards.

    Hard to admit but I had scabies about 7 years ago. My wife used to work at a nursing home and there was an outbreak but they kept it secret from everyone as long as they could... so lucky us, she brought it home with her (as did numerous other nurses). It was terrible to deal with and looked horrible. I went to the doctor and he prescribed a medication that cleared it up in a short time. Bedding and all had to be washed and it was cleared up. As Joy said, scabies isn't your fault. You can be clean and still get it. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Go to the doctor, have it diagnosed to be certain, and get the medication.
