I am 23 years old. I have one question about my health. Can you please help me to answer it? I very much appreciate it !
I am afraid that I have got scabies. 3 years ago, a small weird black dot appeared on my buttock. It was itchy sometimes. I intended to go doctor. However, the itchiness became less severe and less frequent. So I thought it was just a pimple or something not important. I didn't go doctor. One year later, around this area, another small black dot appeared. And the same thing happened. Because the frequency and the intense of the itchiness is very insignificant, I still didn't care much about them. And few months ago, another dot appeared around this area and I was told about scabies. I don't really know if I get scabies because I rarely feel itchy. However, I start worrying a lot about these dots because they seems spreading. Moreover, the old dot becomes bigger over time as the two small ones appear. It is now about 0.2 cm radius.
I know I should go to doctor. However, I want to try the 5 percent permethrin first. Can you please give me your advice?
Thank you so much !
