A member asked:
Md doesn't think rash is scabies & biopsy showed only infection.he gave me steroid crm & crm for infection. if it is scabies, will this make it worse?

No...: ...It just won't make it better. What makes you think it's scabies? Are others in your household itching? Do you have sores between your fingers, or in the groin? If the md is a dermatologist, and says it's not scabies, it probably isn't.
