Non-itchy Rash...Scabies?

Question

About 3 weeks ago my husband had a friend over and he was telling us his pregnant wife was at home miserable with scabies. She had just come back from the doctor and he was telling us that while she was pretty much covered in this itchy rash....he hasn't gotten it at all and they sleep in the same bed.
Now 3 weeks later my stomach is broken out in tiny red bumps. Everything I read tells me if it's scabies it will itch insecently and mine does not. I've going crazy thinking it might be scabies. I've had it about 4 days and the only other unusual thing that I've been exposed to is yard work! I did sweat a ton...could this be some sort of heat rash? It's only on my stomach not quit underneath my bra line but not as far down as my belly button.
Another thing I should mention is that it doesn't look like the pictures I've looked at online of scabies. But I haven't picked at mine at all and all the pics I've seen kinda looked either scratched or picked at.

Answer 1

I had scabies in high school, and it itches like crazy. I would guess that you do not have scabies. It could be heat rash. Give it a day or two and if it doesn't go away, ask your doctor.

Answer 2

No dont sound like scabies to me , scabies starts between the fingers and on the wrist and its really nastily itchy.
It could be your hormones its common for pregnant women to get weird rashes and its hardly ever anything. Go see your doc he will know what it is , but ive had scabies from working at hospitals skin to skin contact is needed thats why its usually the fingers and wrists.

Answer 3

Does Scabies Always Itch

Answer 4

it very easily could just be a heat rash. Keep an eye on it and if it spreeds i would go to a dermatologist. i had scabies twice when i was about six. The itch a lot and i remember my mom having to put this lotion all over my body......so they defintly spread!

Answer 5

It could be exzema. It doesn't have to be itchy. I have them too, little red dry patches on the skin that just pop up out of nowhere. Daily application of lotion helps them go away after a while. But of course if they worry you, a dermatologist would know better than I do.

Scabies

Scabies is a contagious (catching) disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis (Hering). The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs. Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching (especially at night) and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist (belt line). If untreated, the female will continue to lay eggs for about five weeks. The eggs hatch and the new mites begin the cycle all over again. The mites themselves are too small to be seen without magnification. One of the great problems with scabies always has been misdiagnosis. Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. It is usually found where people are crowded together or have frequent contact, and is most common among school children, families, roommates, and sexual partners. Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg. Prompt action is required to rid a person of the insects and eggs. Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic.

If you think your child or someone else in the family has scabies - Try a sauna and/or try bathing, washing or soaking in diluted Lice R Gone® Shampoo, Safe Solutions, Inc. Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint, or sulfur and/or borax - then call your medical provider to be sure you are no longer infected.

If you are still infected, your medical provider or doctor may prescribe a pesticide (poison) lotion - use the prescribed (poison) lotion on the body (from the neck down) of the affected person(s). Follow the instruction on the bottle - very carefully. Try Lice R Gone® shampoo and/or Safe Solutions, Inc.'s Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint and borax or a sauna first, if your doctor will allow it.

Examine all other family members carefully for the presence of scabies - use a magnifying glass.

To avoid reinfestation, all clothing, towels and bedding should be thoroughly laundered once all those with scabies begin their treatment. Use hot water over 120o F. (equal to hot tap water in most homes). Try washing in Safe Solutions, Inc.'s Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint and borax.

Combs, brushes, barrettes and anything with which your child has had contact should be soaked in hot water (over 120o F.) and Safe Solutions, Inc.'s Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint or borax for at least 15 minutes.

Periodically check your child for symptoms which may indicate reinfection. Expect the rash to clear up in about two weeks.

In most cases your child can return to school after the first treatment and after all clothing, towels and bedding have been washed.

Prevention

Try routinely using a sauna - try bathing, soaking or washing in diluted Safe Solution's Enzyme Cleaner enzyme cleaners and/or borax and/or sulfur. Try Lice R Gone® shampoo.

Regularly change and wash all clothing, bedding, towels and under wear.

When laundering towels, clothing and bedding use hot water and enzymes or borax.

Children should not share clothing or other personal articles such as hair brushes, combs or towels with one another.

When an outbreak of scabies is reported be alert for symptoms in member of your family.

If your child has scabies, please notify the school authorities so the school will be alerted to check for any outbreak.

The above measures are suggested to help prevent reinfestation. However, even the medicated (poison) lotion treatment for scabies does not provide long-term protection and reinfestation is always possible. So watch and practice proper prevention - Remember to try to avoid the use of poison on your person or child at all costs.
