A member asked:

How to tell if it's scabies or an allergic reaction to vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) that is causing my skin to be really itchy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Biopsy skin: Easiest way is to get a scraping or skin biopsy. Scabies is usually very easy to identify. Allergy to drug may be equally. Could be something else too.
