Scabies: F of unknown age and location states has scabies. States she had covered body with cream but what can I do to get rid of bumps? ANS: They are reactions to having the little buggers under your skin. They should be dead now. They should then heal and go away a week or so. If not consult with the Dr who gave you the med.
