So were you diagnosed as having scabies ? I was a year apo, then told it was caused by sleep deprivation by a dermatologist for 900.00.i bought a digital microscope for myself at Christmas but my doctor doesn't care to look at pictures or prescribe me medicine to treat dermodex.. they start in my eyelashes and spread about every 5 to 6 weeks... ivermectin and permethrin cream isn't working... horse shampoo does but it's only temporary..I need help badly...

Hi there @jlmis70 and welcome to Connect. We are all helping each other here and hoping to improve our quality of life. Early on in my pursuit of the causes of chronic neuropathic itch, I had a flare on Christmas Eve. There wasn't much available at urgent care.....only a young PA who I know felt overwhelmed by the task in front of him. Of course, as soon as I saw my dermatologist she said no to the scabies idea.
Until I know more about you, I can recommend Dermeleve. It is a new topical presented to me by my dermatologist after attending a conference. You can find it at dermeleve.com. It starts working in about 15 minutes and your relief can be up to six hours. I just received approval for Dupixent which I hope will be the final solution. I will try to stay in touch with you to let you know.
You may want to make sure you get a patch test and remove all your allergens from your daily bathing and clothes washing products. How long have you been "itching"?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
