In January I came down with a very itchy rash. At the time I was out of town and went to see a dermatologist recommended by a
familyBirth control and family planning
Choosing a primary care provider
Ewing’s sarcoma
Family troubles - resources member. He said it was some kind of follicultis and gave me a shot of

Kenalog in orabase
Kenalog-10
Kenalog-40 and
betamethasoneBetamethasone
Betamethasone topical
Betamethasone-calcipotriene topical
Betamethasone-clotrimazole topical. I told him that shortly before this rash started my son had brought home a stray dog with mange and I asked him about the possiblity of me catching it. He said probably not. Well, the rash returned and I was very miserable. It was worse at night. It was mostly on my torso and now spreading to my arms. It is now March and I am going out of my mind. I go to my local derm and he does a scraping for scabies. He finds nothing. He gives me another shot of
kenalogKenalog

Kenalog-40 and some anti-scabie cream, just in case it is scabies. By the way, I did tell him that I had a shot of

Kenalog-10
Kenalog-40 two months previously, but he still gives me another. A few days after the second shot I notice visable veins showing through my skin on my arms and
handsHand or foot spasms
Hand tremor. My question is...is it possible that these two shots thinned my skin to that degree and if they did, will the thickness return to normal. I am very upset about this. It is obvious it was scabies... since using the anti-scabie cream kept the rash from returning after all this time. I probably never needed any of those shots in the first place.
