Question 1

can you get scabies on your face?

Accepted Answer

Scabies: It is possible to get scabies on the face. However, for unknown reasons it is not the typical location. Often the head is spared. However, if the parasite stays on the skin too long untreated, it can go anywhere. Most commonly seen around belly button, genitals, thighs, hands, fingers. But no site is safe from this pesky annoying creature.

Question 2

my head of the penis is getting blackish colour.i have recently affected by scabies a month before.can i know why i get this?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: Your recent encounter with scabies and color change of the glans are not related. The change in color is not meaningful to your health.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Question 3

i get really itchy welts on my chest, forearms, neck and even my head where hair grows. i thought it could be scabies and i've used perthrim cream whi?

Accepted Answer

Scabies unlikely.: but it is a reason to have things evaluated. Mostly, reaction to a chemical exposure with/without sunlight sensitization effects. Can progress to a second degree burn or infection if the skin breaks open. But, if it is an allergic reaction to a medication, that needs to be fixed. And if it is sensitive skin, (mastocytosis) that needs to be fixed. And theres good treatment for it.

Question 4

can  scabies grow on your face?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Scabies are more likely to involve the face in infants & children than adults but this may be due to behavioral factors rather than difference in tissue. If the mite can gain access to a surface by direct innoculation they are likely to dig in.

Question 5

how do i treat scabies in my head?

Accepted Answer

Scabies Treatment: You need to see your physician for  treatment of scabies. Some prescription medications for scabies include: Permethrin, crotamiton, lindane &amp; ivermectin. Your physician can determine what is appropriate for you.

Question 6

can scabies cause a red pimple like bump on head of the penis that looks like its turned into a painless blister? i also have a rash all over body for 2 months.only sexual contact was handjob 6 weeks ago.was told its no risk for syphilis/any std?

Accepted Answer

: Scabies can be transmitted with using the same bed, towel, comb or any thing of personal use. It can cause intense itching then rash and blister. Hand should not transmit any other sexually transmitted diseases but if in doubt, testing is preferred over speculation. See your doctor for confirmation of scabies &amp; treatment. All beddings, shoes which can not be washed, put sealed bags for 6 weeks

Question 7

what is an effective way to treat your vehicle for scabies/head lice?

Accepted Answer

General cleaning: With lice, only areas where the head has touched are at risk. Would wipe the area down and vacuum it. 
With scabies it is spread to the environment with direct skin contact. It is unlikely to be an issue in your car. Would recommend general cleaning to the areas as well with wipe down and vacuum. Extreme cleaning in either case is not necessary or indicated.

Question 8

i am having scabies.i am seeing bumps even in the area of penis head.is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Scabies: The penis is a common site for scabies lesions.

Question 9

i have a rash that looks like scabies but is not. skin scraping came back clear. all over  my  body but not on my face. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Hmm: If it looks like scabies I normally treat with Permethrin 5% as   sometimes there are only 6-8 Mites in your entire body leading to the negative skin scraping. Consider sending us a picture or seeing a dermatologist face to face and reconsider just treating for scabies.

Question 10

i went drinking 3 days before and woke up with the face rash. once that had gone it spread. i'm scared it might be scabies i once had that. ?

Accepted Answer

Multiple issues: 1. It is not likely to be scabies as the parasite usually affects cooler areas of the body such as hands.
2. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it.
3. Get HPV vaccine.
4. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
