Cured… kind of
Caught scabies August 2025. Likely through sex as I had nodules on my groin.
Did the cream permethrin which seemed to work but then it flared up again. I had followed the cleaning protocol during this time.
Eventually bought privately ivermectina. This worked straight away. I really recommend this.
What I would say is be cautious of over treating. If I had listened to some of the advice I’ve seen here my body would not be in the shape it is now!
I had identical symptoms flare up post ivermectina. Not as much itching. No new burrows. The nodules reappeared on my groin but went a few days later.
I’d say if in doubt. Wait a few days before thinking you still have it. The main thing is the itching for me. Once you’re past that you’ll always know whether it’s post scabies (I appreciate we are all different)
Now other than my message of hope to those who have it. I am dealing with the after effects of this awful thing!!! Since the beginning I’ve had spots near my groin which appear to almost to, flare up again, before almost going again.
Has anyone had a similar thing?
I have tried shampoo, antibiotics, steroid cream. I’ve been seen by a dermatologist once who prescribed elocon but not convinced it’s working as it seems to flare up even worse now.
Some doctors think folliculitis but who knows!
I have another dermatologist appointment in a few months!!
