I also put in a request to change dermatologist as my doctor told me they had complaints about them, considering the fact that they didn't do a skin biopsy after 3 months .
Again thank you all for your prayers, you are such angels

Hey Rick, no I don't believe that has been ruled out either. I saw 3 doctors and 2 dermatologists so far in the 8 months that I've been itching and all 3 doctors said it looked like scabies to them because of the marks . The first dermatologist said I could have had scabies at one point but he was t sure if I had them now , and this was in April , but the last dermatologist I had said it didn't look like scabies at all, but he was the least thorough one of them all and the last doctor I saw was shocked that after my 3 visits with him that he actually became dead set against doing a skin biopsy which frustrated me . I could see that he didn't want to order a skin biospsy from the start, plus my doctor didn't see any notes at all from him and she actually told me that they have had complaints of shotty work from this guy, so I put in a request for a change of dermatologists which will take 2 to 3 weeks to completeRickD wrote:Bippy,
Not sure if this has been brought up yet, but have you ruled out food and/or medicine allergies as far as your skin condition?
Yes I've been under a lot if stress for a good 2 and a half years (more recently ), but there might have been a clue here in that when my dad was alive he had visited my mom at the nursing home almost every day, and my mom last year was treated for scabies and shortly after my dad started itching . From what I've read scabies attacks people with weak immune systems or people that are under a lot of stress. We have a friend that stays with us now and nothing stresses the guy . He is the most efficient sleeper on earth. He can literally sleep standing up lol. And he hasn't it he's once while he's been with us.Philip wrote:Yes, always suspect food and medicines first, especially anything new you've ingested. Also, Bip, high stress may be a factor, and you've obviously been under a tremendous amount of that. We'll keep lifting you up!
