I went around 4 weeks symptom free after around 4 treatments and finally on the last attempt I got relief however in the last 2 weeks symptoms have started again it started off localised to my penis marks and itching however in around the last 3 days all the old itchy spots are itching again and it’s happening at night so it’s very hard to sit in denial anymore I got cleared by a doctor which doesn’t mean much in my opinion as uk GPS are useless when it comes to scabies so now I just feel lost in all honestly it’s my birthday today and I’ve had to sit in my room and do nothing all day i booked the whole week off work and have done absolutely nothing it’s so depressing I really thought this shit was over after going so long symptom free but it’s getting to the point where it’s unbearable again so it’s hard to think it’s not active. Just hoping maybe someone can comment their experiences and if anyone has dealt with similar experience and if it turned out to be post or active ?

So I just been to the doctors in uk and it’s been 5 weeks since last treatment and she said she never even thinks I had scabies in the first place which I’m very shocked by and seemed to put the blame on me as I mentioned all these symptoms started after I started seeing my ex girlfriend but she insisted to me it’s never been scabies and that I got contact dermatitis instead which makes no sense to me as I’ve had no skin issues before I met this girl but whatever she said even if it is svabies with how my skin is healing and how much the itching has decreased I’m definitely cured after 5 weeks no treatment which is nice but I was shocked how much insisted there’s no way it’s scabies even tho all her colleagues diagnosed me with it and she was even pushing an almost feminist agenda against me saying it’s easy to just blame a woman for your condition which i literally didn’t even blame her really I just mentioned all these symptoms started since seeing her so that’s why I think I got scabies and why her colleagues thought the same. I guess I’m happy I know I’m cured as it’s been 5 weeks and I’ve never had that scabies itch at night and the rashes pop up and disappear seems very post scabies like. My GP was also angry that the other doctor prescribed me ivermectin that in my opinion is what cured me so I was kind of confused by her but all her agendas aside she said it’s been 5 weeks I would have a full on infestation and I’d know by now so I guess I can have peace of mind. Others can look through my post history if you would look like I posted images of when I had full blown scabies infestation in my opinion and see if you think I definitely had it as in my opinion there’s no doubt I had scabies.

It’s been a month since my last treatment and my physical post scabies symptoms have been pretty mild and I’ve not had many actually moments where I’ve thought I may still have scabies most of my big marks are taking a little long to heal but their healing and I’m having weird things pop up on my body but disappear in days and I’ve had no severe itching at all. It’s my birthday in 2 weeks and I’ve isolated myself for 3 months at this point and I still am and I’m planning on obviously at the very least getting a GPs opinion on if I am clear but my experience with the doctors has been pretty terrible their scabies knowledge is terrible so I don’t really value their opinion much. I hate to say I’m confident I’m all clear because of the anxiety in the back of my head is saying don’t say it to soon you never know. So I’m planning on maybe having a private dermatologist do a skin scrape or another procedure to clear me as I think that would give me the peace of mind. I’m aware that scabies damaged my skin and I had a secondary infection so my body is very beat up and these little rashes that come and disappear mess with my head a little bit so I think I need a proper test from a professional to be cleared just for my mind or do you think after all this time it would be pretty obvious if I had active scabies. As I have very mild itching for around 1 hour a day and that is it and I get eczema looking rashes pop up in random areas of my body but they disappear very quickly like a few days.

It’s been 10 days since my last treatment and I’m pretty much itch free all my rashes are healing and I only deal with dry skin now that cause minor bumps . Even the nodules on my genitals are fading so I’m just wondering when should I could consider myself cured. Obviously I know at least 2 weeks is recommended because of the scabies life cycle I guess my plan is to wait untill the third week and if I’m still symptom free to see my GP and see if I’m considered cured but just wanted to know at what point did others start living their normal life again ?

I finshed 2 rounds of Premethin 5 days ago and the day I finished Premethin I took a dose of ivermectin to and in the 5 days since I finished Premethin all my symptoms are gone rash is healing and basically have no itching. I would have perfered 2 rounds of ivermectin but uk gp prescribed me only one for after Premethin treatment is completed as he said I’ll probably be treated anyways. But ye I’m having 0 itch at all my rashes are healing I’m feeling really good. Is this a good sign or maybe I should wait another week or 2 before being excited to have a normal life again ?

Hi I’ve done 4 rounds of premethin the last 2 rounds I done have seen improvements in my itching it’s obvious still there but nowhere near as intense and when I finished my last treatment I went to my GP just because my skin broke out in rashes on the day after treatment. He prescribed me one dose of ivermectin and some steroid cream just to be extra safe I done ivermectin just for safety precautions I’d say it’s been around a week since I’ve felt I might be in post. My skin is highly damaged though in my last post you can see my feet and legs have took a battering. I’m from the uk and just looking for advice on dealing with post. I’m aware that I might still have active scabies but trying to stay postive for the time being and trust in my treatment. I would have preferred a second dose of ivermectin just so I could have nuked them with no doubt but still pretty confident that I’m in post. Really bad dry skin and my rashes are crusting looks like it’s healing and the one burrow I found on my foot is fading. Would aloe Vera be a good choice for moisturing my skin and healing I’m hesitant to put the steroid cream on as I’ve read it makes scabies harder to treat.
