Have you told the dermatologist's receptionist that you have a new symptom and are concerned about your baby? Most medical clinics will give you advice, especially when they can't see you raw. Ask for the advice nurse.

you still have them especially if the blisters are trails that is where mine started hands and feet

google CDC scabies information to get accurate info about removing them. Scabies is a public health risk, you could be passing it to other people in your life and then they could pass it to someone else etc....

You need to take your baby to the Pedi asap, you need to call the dermatologist office and demand an appointment today! Tell them why you need the appointment and if they do not see you, you will call the dept. of public health. You can also call your primary MD, she can also treat scabies. Do not wait on this. Scabies is a public health issue

Make sure that your visitors and other family members have been checked and or treated by their doctor, because if they contracted it from you and then return to your home or you go to their home you can become reinfected.

When first infected with scabies, it could take up to 6 weeks for any signs to show, but you are still contagious before the signs and symptoms are apparent, so people could spread it before realizing that they have it.

Let us know what happens

I had scabies once when I was in high school. There was an outbreak in our school due to the young life ski trip, fun huh!? The most common thing is for scab like features to pop up in hands and feet. They like warm dark places and your extremities are the best for them. When you are in water, does it seem worse? I would def call another dermatologist and explain your situation, it is very easy to cross-contaminate and keep aquiring it. It is highly contagious. Your linens, furniture,car, pillows, anything and EVERYTHING has to be treated. I hope it isnt a re infection and you find some comfort soon!

Hi C.,

Melaleuca oil kills scabies safely. I've had a homeless person stay with us a few times and he always has scabies when he gets here and leaves without them. No one else in the house gets them. We use the Gold Bar (Melaleuca's alternative to soap) from Melaleuca and use their laundry detergent as well. He comes and gets a Gold Bar from me whenever he has a friend that gets them as well.....

PS It's healing as well and is healthy for the skin.
