So for months I was itching and the doctor told me It was bed bugs for months,(i asked everytime,I visited was it scabies) So I moved out of where I was living, throw away all my bedding washed everything on a high heat and dried everything in dryer etc
only for two weeks later my boyfriend was told it was scabies.
We found this out about a week before christmas, we have applied the cream at least 5 times since then, we washed everything before the dermtologist told us,that clothing rarely passes the infection on and we don't need too. so two weeks we did a treatment
yet in the last day I have got burrows showing on my hands and I am so itchy, my boyfriend told me aswell he was feeling kinda itchy.
I am at my witness end, they just dont seem to disappear, I dont know how to get rid of them after the treatment dont seem to be working.
please has anyone else had this problem?

infection on the hands is the most common way of getting it. nurses, carers and claokroom attendants get it a lot so it might be worth looking at the possibility youre getting reinfected from someone you have contact with
I have no idea how I caught it, but I use to work as a barmaid but the contact of serving customers shouldnt of been long enough to transmit scabies
