Answer 1

HMMM I have never heard of that. Several years ago I had a roommate who had scabies. Witnessing it first hand, I would not wish it on anyone. He got scabies from dirty linens and towels at a hotel. Later in court it was determined the mattress was the actual cause, infecting the sheets, towels , his clothes which soon transferred to his shoes and underwear, car seats and then our house. But at the point he moved in with me, he knew what was wrong so the treatment and preventive measures were already in motion. So, he itched, really bad all the time, he scratched so much he bagan to create sores and the sores never healed because he was picking and scratching so much. the worst part when he was creating sores on his scalp and losing his hair. he began obsessively washing everything in pure bleach including himself. he would cry in the shower(i heard him but never said anything) I assume from the bleach on all those sores, and every free moment he had, he was trying to look under his skin within a sore to see if he could see any bugs. God it was awful. I felt so helpless because there wasnt anything I could say or do to help him. He did end up sueing the hotel and was awarded a substantial settlement. I know he took some medicine for a few months and was given a stong topical antibiotic for his skin. Oh he went through all the physical trauma for about 6 months until finally one day the itching stopped and he was starting to heal. Hopefully you dont have scabies. Have you researched anything else or is the cuts your only sysmptom.?

Usually the first thing that anyone complains about with scabies is the intense itch, worse at night. Since you have not even mentioned this I am sceptical. Scabies is most commonly seen these days in schoolchildren and people that work with them, though there are sometimes outbreaks in other close communities such as prisons.

The diagnosis of scabies would seem to be an obvious one with most text books talking of the classical appearance of the burrows. A wise dermatologist who taught me as a student said something I have never forgotten.' scabies looks like everything and everything looks like scabies'. I have seen experienced dermatologists struggle to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes a blood test will give a hint, white blood cells called eosinophils may be high, sometimes only a biopsy can confirm the diagnosis.

Go see your GP for assessment. By the way if a GP feels a patient MIGHT have scabies it is quite common management that he may treat on a just in case basis.

Hi - Scabies is very common and not really serious, just really really irritating. I caught it many years ago when I stayed over at someones house that was, lets say, not too spik n span. It starts usually between the fingers as lots of small white lumps with redness around and spreads from there. I had to have a hot bath, then paint on this emulsion type stuff and leave it on. It stung like ****** but did the trick. Though I wouldn't have thought that your symptoms were scabies as they wouldn't stay for a while, but indefinately until treated. Hope this helps. Good luck xx

It is scabies these people are crazy! I had the same thing after being reinfested for a second time it showed up as little paper cuts on my fingers and hands the next day. Use oral Ivermectin horse paste, it can be bought cheap at feed store or at amazon.com. Don't let it get worse. I also used Happy Jack Kennel Dip II also bought at Amazon, it is 17% permetherin.

Answer 5

It does not sound at all like scabies.The mites that cause scabies burrow usually between the fingers and do not cause lesions that resemble paper cuts.They take a while to cause the intense itching and redness caused by the body reacting to their feces. The cuts you describe sound as if you have extremely dry skin that is splitting. Try Lotil hand cream it works miracles.It gets down into the splits helps to heal them quickly and whilst doing so stops the cuts being so painful.

your question it leaves a taste of metal on my tongue and the tops of my teeth with an odd, cold raw kinda feeling reading it again my face all screwed up that taste will not leave and now wow.... how annoying hurts really to type I can't quite suck on this sting akward nasty place right there right between my first and second fingers on my left hand no less it stings this cut yet feels like a burn worse even third, fourth oh ouchie naw let's create - tenth degree burn a knife, dull rusty would feel better why do these things always seem to happen to me figures really though it is 'the law' I suppose murphy says so; cause- I said aloud today is wow, it is great always happens like that just as things start to flow a bump a scrap stinging paper cut most annoying - somehow somewhere my chocolate was replaced with foil and like a fool I never knew and that taste eeww nothing can rid the taste I know I already tried brushing my teeth and while trying to suck that pain away I stuck my fingers in my eyes that pain even worse cause it may hurt but it got me laughing so hard I fell off my chair landed hard my ribs ache cause I can not stop ironic sad humorous fool as lucy the stooges minus the flow - a cue sigh sorry I got carried away, your question is not one that one thinks of; except that odd ocassion it happens; so I pictured it and typed - to see which is worse or better --- still not sure which is either, or which you wanted so I guess no biggie if I say: both at the same time would suck "horse-cocky" whereas either one would just annoy to no end and if for some odd reason - I had both and stuck my fingers in my eyes -while trying to make the pain stop well I really would laugh till I cried and yep I bet I would fall off my chair and begin to cry and laugh and the throat would hurt, the ribs ache, but the 'rear' would have the most pain my opinion - try hard to let neither happen, but keep in mind that at times the more we try to have something not occur, the more likely it will thank you for asking about such yucks, eewws and ouch least I can say, today, none of those happened --for the sake of leaving murphy sleeping, I will not say what the 'later/morrow/future' might hold - not gonna bring the 'law' down on me ;)

No, scabies shows up more like a rash. All scabies is, is like lice but all over your body. Why would you think scabies of all things? Were you exposed to someone who had them? If you do know someone who has scabies, stay away!! They jump.....and that's gross.

If you are however striving to boost you're vertical and you are looking to get your hands above the side, put Vert Shock to the check, a program that you will think it is here https://tr.im/ZGRMk  and provide it a try, you will end up taken aback of how quickly you may become a creature hopper in the event that you prepare the right way.
The program will not allow you to leap tens of thousands of occasions since Vert Shock was developed and used by true elite stage basketball players.
When it comes down to it, if you actually want to leap higher, you only discovered the most effective process on the planet to do so. Any other way could simply be a spend of time.

Scabies from paper cuts? LOLOLOLOL

Sorry......No. Scabies is caused by an insect bite---nothing to do with papercuts.

Answer 10

The symptom of scabies is a rash, generally on your arms and maybe your legs. It is very easily cured so don't be alarmed by other answers. It is also more common than you might be led to believe. I think what you have is more likely to be eczema (dermatitis). Are you allergic to something you're handling?
