so i dont think this is scabies.. I work at a vet so i think the dr just jumped to that conclusion once i said that however i am only a receptionist and dont have a lot of contact with animals. no one else in my clinin got it.... One of my doctors suggested i go on prednisone for a week. I end my week tomorrow and the first few days it was way better.. almost gone... but now it is back to as bad as before. I have also tried every OTC allergy treatment to see if it is an allergic reaction and this doesnt help either....claritin, benadryl, allegra, zyrtec, cortizone cream, washing with "tgel" - a coal tar shampoo - still nothing. When i was dianosed with scabies the doctor also said its possible it could be syphilis infection. But, if so... wouldnt it be on my genitals? (it is not) and wouldnt my fiance who ive been with 5 years show symptoms?? please help me... i cannot afford to keep going to the dr as i am 23 making a living on my own and cannot afford health insurance.
