Reddish Bumps, Feels Like Something Crawling And Biting. History Of Scabies. Applying Listerine
Over our summer I've treated myself and my family for scabies! No relief! Reddish bumps in different earas where scabies don't usually form! On our side of face, hairline outter thighs!! Don't itch at night!! It feels like they are crawling and biting me! It itches when getting bit!! I put listerine all over me and it helped!! Feels 100% better after scrubbing with soap head to toe before bed!! Please help!

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Have you treated your whole family with just listerine?
Using listerine is not appropriate treatment of Scabies.
It requires treatment of all family members simultaneously with application of scabicidal agent Like Permethrin. Overnight application of it over night all over the body avoiding face to all family members is advisable.
If problem still persists Kindly see a Dermatologist.
Wishing you a healthy life
I hope I have cleared your doubts.
If you still have any, Kindly get back to me.
Take care
