Do Red Bumps Near Lower Back With History Of Scabies Indicate Relapse?
Hello doctor / doctors
I have clustered tiny red pumps on my lower back (where the spine is). It appears a week or two ago. I have scabies infections in the past but the Dermatologist treated it and it has not happen since. What could this be? Can it be a re-infections?

Hello,
It can be a reinfection of scabies.
I suggest using Permethrin cream as the first treatment.
I also suggest using Cetirizine to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
