Hello,

Please send me a picture of the pimples on your body.

If diagnosed with scabies, should keep good personal hygiene.

Have your clothes and bedsheets washed separately from those of other members of the family.

Wash your bedsheets every day in high temperature and by soaking in bleach first.

Try not to scratch the pimples in order not to get the eggs of the mites.

Keep regular follow up with your caring doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
