Red Blisters On Legs, Thighs, Post Scabies Phase. Family History Of Condition. Treatment?
I think I am in the post- scabies phase. I have big, red blisters on my legs now (as well as small rashes and bumps on my thighs and forearms). Should I pop the blisters or leave them alone? They are sore to the touch but not itchy in the least. Are the blisters a good sign? Are there also any noticeable signs (that I can look for) that tells me the mites are dying/dead? I feel like, even after the Permethrin , my family is still fighting this thing to the death.
Hi , Thanks for writing in. The condition can be scabies with bacterial infection. A visit to your primary care children specialist or dermatologist will be required for proper diagnosis. Till the time you can apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion or aloe vera lotion. Oral and topical antibiotics will be required. Anti scabies lotion application will be required to be repeated. Hope this helps. Regards DrSudarshan MD Dermatology
