Scabies and pregnancy.
Scabies is ruining my life yet again,
April 2025 I was diagnosed with scabies along with my children (unknown to us ex's family had it)
April, may, June, July we fought to get rid of the damn things,
Did permethrin,
Derbac m,
And finally I used bb to treat along side ivermectin x2 doses a week apart.
Strict cleaning routine, strip beds, hot wash and dry everything, no close contact.
All treated at the same time.
Aug, Sept, Oct, - child see's ex's family = November
Boom I'm back with them again
Straight to docs derbac m. And got bb lotion. Another x2 dose of ivermectin.
By Dec 31st clear,
Relieved and so glad to be able to cuddle the children again. (previously scared to infect them as they were showing no symptoms but all treated at the same time.)
January 2026 = pregnancy = amazing blessing for us so excited to have baby
Feb, march, april = child see's ex family brief no close contact, (keeps distance) as wasn't sure if this is where we were infected. (but had suspicions)
close contact stays at ex's household unknown to us.
Within 4 days of being around said close contact,
April 2026.
Scabies are back.
4 months pregnant and scabies brillaint,
Derbac m prescribed by docs for whole family to treat,
Also ordered sulfur soap wash and sulfur cream.
2 weeks of derbac
3 consecutive days of sulfur,
1 week of derbac again.
Consistent cleaning, consistent apply creams with whole household and close contacts.
Seems to be clearing, spots aren't raised just slightly faded but still slightly visable. No itch.
3 weeks since treatment, spots seem more apparent again, (in the last week) in the same places as last seen,
No new marks/burrows.
Slight itch nothing major.
Dermo appointment can't be seen untill end of October.
Baby due just before then absolutely at my wits end.
What am I doing so wrong?
Literally at my wits end and will be staying well away from close contacts who have had contact.
Haven't cuddled my kids for months, mental health is declining rapidly, scared for unborn baby incase I'm still infected on arrival,
Cleaning like a mad, every single day.
Please somebody give me some advice. UK based. Products have been recommended from over seas but could be held at customs due to import.
Ivermectin isn't an option in pregnancy due to not enough details for complications when it comes to baby and arrival.
Maximpulse.com was a god send, and I really thought the sulfur had worked, but I'm doubting that now due to how the marks look.
Currently heatwave in the UK isn't helping my situation either and nobody else in the household displaying symptoms.
