Turns out not eczema, wicked scabies.
Been dealing with an insanely itchy rash for months, hands, feet, legs, groin, chest. I genuinely thought it was allergies and eczema flair ups. I went to allergist to find out I am insanely allergic to all grasses/weeds and I do lots of yard work. Thought that was my cause, as well as thought I was allergic to harsh laundry detergents, we recently switched to dye free/perfume free everything looking for some relief. Ive had eczema flair ups in the past on my hands, legs, groin, etc so thought it was just getting worse as I aged.
Then my wife started having the same stuff going on about 3 weeks ago, and we thought that was epidural rash/itch. Her OB at her 1 month post partum check sent her to the dermatologist yesterday. A week ago our 5 week old newborn got a rash that was diagnosed baby acne/heat rash, but in the week since it has gotten drastically worse.
Turns out the dermatologist yesterday immediately said we have scabies, and we gave it to our newborn. So heartbroken over troubling our little guy with this.
Luckily we got put on permethrin and our first treatment was last night. Because he is so young, our pediatrician said there hasnt been any known use below 2 months, but she said she would not want to wait another 3 weeks for her own baby so she said to only put it on for 3 hours and then bathe him, instead of the typical overnight for adults. I think we will do 3 treatments on him to be sure it kills the mites.
Hoping we can kill this fucking shit after the 2nd 7 day treatment.
Buncha pictures of me throughout the past 2-3 months and one of my sons leg. His back is so much worse.
God, there was times I wanted to cut my hands off to relieve the itching at night.
