Thank you so much for this info. The derm biopsied 2 spots one was eczema the other foliculitis. I think it would have indicated scabies so I'm not too concerned. I was on prednisone before this started and I dont want anymore of that.
I will research some other derms and see what they say.

A biopsy is an insensitive test for scabies as told to me by Pathologist. You need a skin scraping done on multiple areas of your body. If you have crusted or Norweigan scabies the CDC recommends application of Permethrin cream head to toe as well as Ivermectin oral tablets. Patients taking Prednisone are more susceptible to scabies
