The official name was such a mouthful, I was embarrassed to tell people what I had. I did not believe I had it. I preferred to believe that. At the time, it was on my face in the form of red cheeks. The Dr told me to put Cortisone cream on it, which I did. Talk about denial!๐Ÿฅต

No way, scabies??? Youโ€™d think theyโ€™d at least just say itโ€™s dandruff. I have had the best help with Clobetasol from my derm.

I was told I had scabies too, that made me mad. No doctor helped I have had to help myself and even diagnosed sebderm on my own I did have a biopsy that proved it. Still no help with any treatment that worked.

Itโ€™s funny you say that cause I was first misdiagnosed with scabies. They gave me two doses of Permethrin (to use head to two). I swear that made my condition worse by further irritating my scalp. I actually went to the ER and the doc gave me saline IV, checked blood level, said I didnโ€™t have scabies, and sent me home. Obviously super frustrated. My first derm made the diagnosis, didnโ€™t really give an explanation or answers to my questions, and wouldnโ€™t communicate for several months. Most of my knowledge has been from online investigating.
