Suggest Treatment For Bug Infestation Of Black Dots Inflaming Skin
I have an infestation of a very small bug that has covered me, my dog and anywhere it can lay eggs which look like bruise marks on my skin. I thought it was morgellons and had used a powder to put on everything and took a med that I cannot remember the name of. This same bug hit my house about 6 years ago and now is back with a vengeance. I first treated it like a lice but nothing has worked. Can you help me. they look like small black dots but will inflame your skin not to count the itching. They got into my linens which I bagged and threw away but still very stressed out.

Hi,
Use permethrin 5% lotion from neck to toe and leave it for 15mins and wash it off. On the same day before the treatment dog should also be treated and all your clothes and bedsheets should be washed in hot water and Dettol. To stop itching use tab Atarax 10mg at night once daily.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
