i have little itchy bumps on my face but there not red unless i scrach them what are they????
Thanks for your swift reply vannesa um neither of us have had scabies before dermac M seems to work gradually and the bumps seem to occur less and less and itchyness is going and seems like the itchyness is less sever by the day. The lesions/vesicles are only little red bumps that doesnt contain any fluid if picked which i tend to avoid doing as it is.
I will get a full check up with my doctor and see how things progress.
thanks again.
Hi,
If this is scabies, has anyone of you had prior exposure to someone with scabies?
Scabies usually appear as small vesicles (lesions which contain fluid).It has predilection over the buttocks ,thighs and finger webs and may present with severe itchiness.I suggest that a complete examination by your primary physician will be able to help. Microscopic examination of skin scrapings from the vesicles may give the diagnosis.
Other differentials will be a dermatitis with an underlying fungal infection .Folliculitis may also be a differential.Some forms of dermatitis may involve the armpits ,thighs and groin.The itchiness may cause cuts in the skin and may cause the spread of bacterial or fungal infection.A bacterial infection may cause folliculitis .Folliculitis may present with small reddish bumps that involve the hair follicles.
Both fungal infection and folliculitis are contagious. I suggest that you avoid any direct contact with the lesions until this has been properly assessed and treated.This does not sound like scabies.However, it is best to undergo a complete examination to prevent spread of any infection.
