So I was diagnosed with scabies yesterday and a couple weeks before this I was diagnosed with dermatitis and I don’t know which is correct? I got the cream and put it on last night and washed my clothes and bedding but I don’t think I have scabies because I haven’t been in close contact with anyone except my bf and he doesn’t have scabies. I read that it can only be contagious through prolonged skin to skin contact and I want to know if that’s true. I am scratching a lot but it’s not keeping me up at night. The doctor who diagnosed me with it did no testing and just said that’s what I had in like one second of looking at it and not even looking at it closely so I am having doubts that I have it. I am currently living with my parents and now they are worried about getting it but I think they would’ve had it by now and I just don’t know how I got it in the first place?? If you can help me that would be great! Thanks!

I went to the theme park Busch Gardens on Saturday with my school. We were coming back home after and the top of my hand was itchy. The next day, my other arm was itchy, and I slowly over the next few days developed seemingly random splotches of itchy weirdness.

I went to the doctor Tuesday. He looked at me for thirty seconds, saw that it was on my hand and my arm and I went to an amusement park, called it contact dermatitis and left.

I don’t think it’s contact dermatitis because it’s continued to spread and it’s in random splotches, not just where clothing touches (like if I was reacting to laundry detergent) etc.

I’ll describe it the best I can.

It’s on the top of my right hand in a somewhat distinct line, there’s a splotch or two on the top of my right arm, it’s ALL over the underside of my left arm in three or four main spots about the size of a quarter with more dot-like splotches by the elbow. Left inner thigh in a distinct line resembling the one on my hand a little. One small spot on my inner thigh (which was really itchy so I scratched it like crazy a second ago and now there’s a bunch of tiny red speckes around it). In a triangular shape on my breast, a little in the middle of my chest, in my belly button, and finally a little bit on my neck.

Not a speck on the back of me at all or my face or my legs (besides the thighs)

I live in South Florida and it has been raining lately. I have a dog.

I have perscription ointment for contact dermatitis, I’ve been taking short cool showers and rubbing oatmeal and baking soda on my “rash”.

What else can I do? Do you think it is contact dermatitis? What do you suggest it is if it isn’t on the back of me at all or my face? What has worked for you getting rid of rashes?

I’m 16, it’s hot out and I’m already sick of wearing pants and jackets to cover this up. Please help.

i have just sold by pony, a 14.1 black welsh section D mare, 14 yrs old. she has gone somewhere with cattle, and there are allot of flys, but her owner phoned up the other day to say she was really itchy and that she had rubbed a big patch by where her girth goes, we went to see and it looked like the girth had rubbed to advised she got a girth protector for her, but now she has told us that she has lines on her back, about 1 inch long that stand out along her back and they have turned to blisters, she doesn’t no what it is and neither do we, she is putting a fly sheet on her every day to try and stop her itching, she has always been a itchy horse but never this bad. i was wondering if it was something to do with the cattle, we are going over tonight to look and see if we can see anything in the Field she is in other than the cattle that could be causing her to itch so much, she was itching on a trailer that was in the Field but that has been fenced off now. does anyone have any other ideas what it could be, we are wondering if it is lice, Irritant Contact Dermatitis,Seborrhea or something like that, is there any supplements we could recommend too? as she is really itchy
thanks

LATEX DEATHS
THE FDA SAYS ONLY 1% OF LATEX DEATHS ARE REPORTED
Delayed contact dermatitis from chemicals in rubber has been recognized since the 1930s.4 But except for rare early reports, clinicians did not appreciate systemic allergic reactions to latex proteins until 1979, when case reports began to appear in Europe.
Latex allergy erupted in the United States shortly after the Centers for Disease Control introduced universal precautions in 1987. By late 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received 1133 reports of serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis occurring to patients and health care staff associated with 30 classes of latex medical devices. There were 15 patient deaths associated with latex barium enema catheters.
The FDA estimated that the reports represented only 1% of actual occurrences
