I was diagnosed with scabies when I was 19 and then again at 23, I'm 26 now and it has never went away, the first five years I had this it effected me from the neck down, now that I have medical insurance and I can go religiously to doctors and dermatologists they insist I don't have it. I itch so bad it's unreal, especially at night, I break out in pimples and hard nodules all over my head, face, and body. And all these brown marks appear all over my body now like freckles but I know it's related to whatever is attacking my poor body. My eyes site has black threads floating in them, and they itch like mad and it feels like their are particles in them, and the my ears itch like hell. I constantly break out in welts or what looks like mosquito bites. My body feels like it's constantly burning, especially my eyes and ears. I have swelling above my eyes, and my arms are real thick and rubbery, and my body hurts real bad, in my joints. I know their is something eating me alive but these doctors won't listen to me, I tried permethrin cream but my skin is so thick and scaly that it won't absorb anything. Can anyone advice me what to do, My eyes and ears are really concerning me, for my vision is skewed and my the itchy burning pressure in my ears is making it hard to hear. I'm scared and cry constantly. I have medicaid so I can't see the greatest doctors and live in Buffalo, NY. I want to be out of my misery someone please help me. I know there is a good chance I have scabies or some kind of parasite attacking me I don't know what to do. The creams obviously don't work so there must be another avenue I can take, please help.
