Scabies and/or Bird mites

[Novella]

I would request a dermatologist review.

What MD said re scabies, the treatment is a cream applied all over then washed off 8 hours later and repeated I think 10 days later?? And washing all clothing/linen in hot water. Unlikely to be scabies as Im sure by now your friend would have them too

Wow thanks heaps for the quick replies. Ill ask her tomorrow but Im pretty sure she was meant to try some sort of lotion and if that didnt work was when the bird mites was mentioned as a plausible alternative. I wasnt too keen to get too close iykwim

DS16 had scabies a few years ago and was prescribed a lotion which was used at night, washed off in the morning then repeated after a week. Luckily no one else in the family caught it.
