I’m losing my mind, doctor told me this isn’t scabies but I don’t believe them
I’ve had scabies now on and off for about 7 months. I’ve done permethrin, malathion and ivermectin. The only thing I found that worked was malathion+ivermectin however my doctor only prescribed me 1 tablet.
They’ve referred me to dermatology but as the wait times could be 3+ months (NHS) Ive tried another course of permethrin when I saw a burrow on my hand. I’ve shown this to the doctor here and they’re refusing to prescribe me any more ivermectin, stating they think it’s not enough to go on. Also, I’m not really itchy at the moment so I’m hoping it’s just me going crazy and not the start of another infestation?
I’m seriously considering just paying for private dermatology just to make sure I get the right treatment or the satisfaction of knowing I don’t need any more.
Does this look like a new burrow? Should I push for more treatment?
Thanks for listening :)
