Scabies Attack
Last month my sister went to Davao for her medical check up before going to manila to process her final requirement for the job she applied going to Kuwait and after she stayed there for 1week, she went home scratching and little bumps are beginning to show in her face and elbow at first we thought that it is just a dust allergy because she’s a little bit sensitive to dust, but later on the scratching is starting to get worst. She can’t sleep at night because it’s really itchy all over and it began to spread to the other parts of her body so she went to a doctor for check up and the doctor told her that it was a Scabies, we did not believed it at first because she’s been having pets way, way back and we always make sure to give our pets a bath but the allergy keep worsen especially in her hands, little bumps starting to show and im a little worried because her line of job is food handling. The doctor give her different kind of medicine then lotion for the whole body, she only applied it once a week and there’s also the ointment, the soap for scabies allergy, the anti itching tablet for the itch but still no use. So when my mother visited her in my aunt house after her CFC convention she bring her again to the doctor and issued again another set of ointment and anti biotic for the hands and feet now she texted me that the allergy is getting better and for it’s a relief to know for she is not going to suffer anymore.
Scabies produces small red bumps and blisters and affects specific areas of the body. Scabies may involve the webs between the fingers, the wrists and the backs of the elbows, the knees, around the waist and umbilicus, the axillary folds, the areas around the nipples, the sides and backs of the feet, the genital area, and the buttocks. The bumps (medically termed papules) may contain blood crusts. It is helpful to know that not every bump is a bug. In most cases of scabies affecting otherwise healthy adults, there are no more than 10 or 15 live mites even if there are hundreds of bumps and pimples
