I went to the Whole Foods Store and found Need seed oil. I put it on straight the first few applications and then bought another small bottle and added it to olive oil with some melaluca( sp?) tea tree oil. this I applied as long as I itched.

Now when I feel an itch that isn’t dissipating as quick as I think it ought to… (I’m paranoid about it, was a bad experience) I reach for the Neem seed oil and apply to just that spot 2-3 times and I’ve not been re-infested for 2 years. I also use borax on our whites/sheets in the washer on hot just as a precaution because I do think there is something to the enzyme theory, but didn’t try a whole house extermination with enzymes like they say you should. Neem is sure a lot cheaper than a lot of stuff out there!

Wash clothes EVERY night in highest hot water even soaked them in BOILING water, Use the Dryer every day on the hottest cycle for 2 hrs 3o mins then iron clothes with steam iron at highest temperature and still have them. Threw away my mattress now sleep on a PLASTIC covered lounge, using an emergency accident silver sheet to sleep on cause nothing burrows or sticks to it.
Each night wear a cap on my head head soaked with treatment as I found some black specks in my scalp. now have marks on my face, along with the red festering bumps all over.

Been to 3 Medical Practitioners and one Skin Specialist who diagnosed Lupus, but has not cured the scabies. For some reason the doctors are more worried about Lupus than scabies.
I can live with Lupus but I cant live with scabies its driving me mad. I have medication to help me sleep (more importantly not scratch) am on anti histimens as well. the “once a day” version but specialist has me taking it twice a day. There have been days when I have had 3.

Put Vaseline over eyelids and brows as they have been in my eyes (one GP warned me this could happen)

Wearing socks to bed with feet covered currently trying Neem Oil. Ayzurvedic treatment, Indians have been using it for 5000 years. I am using it as much out of desperation but hopeful it will work. I have been coating myself in Neem for 5 days (smells like garlic and onion so keep perfume ready to spray over your clothes to mask your aroma). There are nights where I am calling out to God ” I have had ENOUGH”. Over my lifetime I have had many many operations…but nothing comes close to how bad Scabies is.

We need a cure and FAST. I will try and upload some photos of my ruined skin. up until 12 months ago I had wonderful skin but now its crap. I pinpoint the time I first felt the “bite” or burrowing and there was a dog at my house who a friend bought over for one day while we were socializing. I later found out the dog had mange. that dog sat on my lounge/walked on my carpet and shortly later I ended up with scabies.

The medical profession needs to do some SERIOUS research into this awful condition. I have now given up on the drugs/lotions as they didnt work. I am putting my life into the hands of NEEM oil and soap and if this doesn’t work. I am not sure what would be next to try I shaved my arms and legs to ensure no eggs can attach themselves. as I saw little white eggs on hair follicles in the initial stages. Good luck and God Bless to each and everyone of you.

Needless to say everyone who had held him is infected so everyone who held him had to be treated we have done treated with the perm 5% twice but I don’t know how to tell if its gone and I don’t want to over treat him cause he has to have it on his head and face because he is infected there! I’m so ready to have this go away all my son has known his whole life is this horrible itching I’m w want him to be able to enjoy his childhood and be over this!

i just recently found out my “bed bug” problem was scabies so I’ve only had the chance to use the permeth cream for two weeks realizing its not doing much, possibly even worsening it. i thinks these bites are changing/weakening my skin because it had become super sensitive and vulnerable when it used to be very tough. I’m going to say screw the doctor and try the sulfur pills/blue star ointment/glycerin route, and ill let you know how that goes. call me crazy but i fell like there might be more to this than just a bug that bites and itches, i feel like its been changing my body, mind, and spirit and pushing it to the limits, and perhaps that’s its intended purpose? who knows…

I’m going to go outside the box a little too and recommend some more unorthodoxed treatments along with your usual ones, which is what i plan on doing once i get them, couldn’t hurt, right?

Try ordering a “Zapper” online (don croft terminator zapper is cheap and works awesome i hear), it puts a small electric current in your bloodstream kills parasites and much more, wear it on your leg or somewhere for a month, people have even used this to treat there morgellons with success, getting relief from there itching crawling feeling associated with that.

Also, Im gonna start a regimen of “Colloidal Silver”, you can order some online or make it at home both aren’t too hard. you can use it topically or internally, silver has been around forever as sort of a cure-all and harmless to the body, but you research that more for yourself to see all it offers. the bumps are an allergic reaction and you want your body in top shape to get rid of this.

the reason i suggested the last two treatments is because i honestly feel this is an abnormal issue were dealing with here, possibly created like small pox or something who knows, but those are some of the more alternative methods that the medical community would never offer. or you could just get a 10 lb tub of Permethrin cream and set it by your bedside and apply it until you die of cancer, ya know?

so anyway, ill be trying this routine out myself and report back in a few weeks on here, i have confidence that this can be taken care of, i just need to nip it in the bud before i get even more scars, hate the scars, Good Luck! if u want you can contact me at kilaxxx@gmail.com

It burned like hell and actually made me itch but this morning when I woke up the side that I applied it one was almost normal again and the side which i didn’t apply it to remained like sandpaper. I just applied it to the other side and on the rest of me. My skin is on fire and itching like Mad, but I think that is a good sign since the same thing happened last night when I tried it. I will post again tomorrow and see if I have made any process. I PRAY I can end these suckers lives because I’m losing my mind!

Here goes (keep in mind that I’m a 22 year old recent college graduate, and this happened during my final term at my University):

A couple months ago I noticed an…………..odd………..lesion on my naughty parts. Of course, I freaked out like I figure most would in my position. I went to the doctor and he asked me describe my sore. I told him and he asked me if anything had been leaking out of it or anything and I told him that yes, it had been seeping some kind of clear liquid from it the day of my appointment. Without even looking at it simply told me “It’s prolly herpes.” He asked to look at it and with a simple guess was just like “Yeah, that’s herpes. We’ll take some blood and git back with you.”

I was devastated!!!!!!! I had just gotten out of a relationship where I had only been with the same girl for over year, yet I had just taken a new sexual partner after we broke up. Now I kinda figured that had my new partner HAD herpes, she would have told me, so I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. I had no idea where a herpes infection could have come from, so I was just blown away by this diagnosis. I waited and waited and did hours upon hours of research, but nothing I read seemed to suggest where a herpes infection had come from. My long-term partner was slightly prone to cold sores, which I new were a strain of the herpes virus, but we were always very careful and had never done anything while she had an outbreak, etc. The only way I can describe this absolute stress and depression.

Now, idk how many of you have had similar things happen to you, but when this happened to me I started looking up pictures of different std’s etc and honestly, most std’s that cause dermic lesions really kinda look the same when you look up pics of them. Well, something told me to look up pics of scabies. I’m not a very religious person, but I honestly don’t know why I had this notion. The only time I had ever heard of scabies was when I was in the military 4 years before this little ordeal. Anyway, I did some pretty extensive research and noticed that a lot of my symptoms were parallel to those of scabies. So that made me feel a little bit better.

Well, about a week after I went to the doc I couldn’t stand waiting anymore so I called and asked about the results of my blood work. The nurse told me they came back negative and I was ecstatic!!!!!! However, my little “problem” was still there. My main focus then was “why did that guy jump to the conclusion that I had herpes?!?!?!?!?!?!” I do understand that I was a 22 year old college guy, but really?????? Just all of a sudden “You have herpes”. No, Doctor, no sir!!!!

Through the course of events, finals and graduation and such, I didn’t have chance to go back to the doc for about 6 weeks, but literally the monday after my graduation on sunday I had gotten a cold and had to go back to the doc. So when I went this time, I, armed with the knowledge that my ($500, btw, if anyone ever has to have a herpes test they ain’t cheap, especially for a broke college student) test had come back negative, confronted him with the results and the still present lesion, plus some more that had popped up over the course of the past few weeks. He asked to see it again, so I told him “Look, I have an idea of what it may be but I wanna here what you have to say first.” So he looks at it and goes “Well, what do you think it is?” I told him “I’m not sure but I think it may be scabies.” His response: “Nah, I don’t think it’s that.” Okay then what is it then? When will it go away, and when can I use it again? “I have no idea what it is, we’ll send you to a specialist.” Thanks Doc, more money outta my pocket.

So, a week later I go to a specialist and he, as expected, asks to see it. He asks me if it itched and if I had any anywhere else. I told yes, it had woke me up at night itching and that I had a few more coming up on my legs and wrists and a few other places. He quickly informed me “Well, son, don’t worry, you don’t have herpes, you have what’s called scabies.” “I told that damn doctor that and he didn’t believe me!!” was my immediate reaction. “Well, that’s what it is and it’s real easy to treat, just rub this cream on it once now and once in a week” I was elated that I did not have herpes and that I had something simple to treat that would, in fact, go away.

Now, the question was where did it come from? I had spent the summer before this school term working on a pipeline job in Laredo, TX, where I know that all kinds of bugs and parasites thrive (I’ve also spent some time in Mexico, so I know the nasty little bugs they harbor in that part of the world). We had been staying in a motel, which is standard for most kids my age just getting started in the pipeline industry, and had also had our laundry done by a laundromat since we didn’t have time to do it ourselves.

According to most of the research I had done, primary symptoms of scabies occurs 4-6 weeks after the actual contraction of the nasty little might. I looked at a calender and realized that the time of the first lesion occurred around around 6 weeks after I had got back from Laredo. So, all that being said, all I can figure as why my scabies case occurred when and where it did is that possibly it was in the sheets, or maybe whoever did my laundry one day had them and they got in my underwear and managed to find their way into my junk. Atleast, that’s all I can think.

As far as treatment, I just applied my second round of permethrin cream last night, and the bites seem to be getting significantly better. They are not gone yet, but they do seem to be getting much better.

So, that’s my scabies story. As a disclaimer, if anyone reading this HAS herpes, I do not mean to offend anyone by any means. I think we all know how we feel about it know that it’s not a fun concept to think of. I also don’t blame anyone for “giving” me scabies, as I know that no one did it on purpose and from what I’ve seen so far, it really isn’t that big of a deal. But, then again, I’m more laid back than some but I really can’t git pissed at someone for accidentally giving me scabies. In that part of the world, I could have just as easily gotten lice or something similar, I just wish it had started in a…………………..less stressful area on my body. I hope this helps!!!!!

P.S. we tried every other “home remedy” we found on the internet too. I hope we are not in for months of dealing with this. If anyone has had any experience with scabies from sarcoptic mange PLEASE HELP!!!!
