Today i went to a diffrent doctor and he said that i have Pityriasis rosea and not scabies and gave me an injection called depo-medrol. im vry confused please tell me what to do/??
Hello,
Although it is rare site,but I would suggest you to get scabies ruled out. It is an infestation of the skin with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itchingCauses of vaginal itching Eye burning - itching and discharge Itching Jock itch Muscle twitching Vaginal itching, usually at night and by small insectInsect bites and stings Insect stings and allergy-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
Rash of pityraisis rosea is generally non itchy.I would suggest you to get the skin scrapings examination done at the earliest as scabies is a highly contagious disease.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Warm regards.
