Insect crawling under skin?

[THAIPHUKET]

It's itchy and stubborn since 2-3.

What could it be.

Seems to be crawling under the skin and causing more of these still bumps

[KannikaP]

I had the same on andoff when hot and sticky. Systral got rid of it

[FritsSikkink]

Go see a doctor instead of asking on the internet

[Chris.B]

Try Sudocrem

.

Looks like you've reached the second stage.

[Gaccha]

I guess it's scabies (mites under the skin). Presumably very itchy. If it is, the doc will give you permethrin. 

 

But go see the doctor.

Hello my good man, INTERNET doctor here!!!!!

 

First, three large bottles of Chang

Then, naked, run 100 meters to the nearest lake/river/body of water and swim for 234 seconds.  Not a second longer!!!!  

 

Once you are done, find the nearest buddha.  Pray for 39 hours and only drink Chang.  

 

Once this is completed, go see a doctor and show him your arm.

Spreads very easily between family members, normally they treat the entire household.

Scabies. Try Permethrin 5% cream from the pharmacy.

[internationalism]

if it's scabies, you can try ivermectin. Pills and creams.

Or were you bitten by some insects on the beach?

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how I fall

Confusing what is real ????

[Jingthing]

I think I see a track. That's another scabies sign. If the itching is more intense at night, almost definitely.

The first time I had scabies was in Boston and I was so freaked out after the treatment that I would get reinfected that I drove to Montreal. 

Good times.

Probably the cream first.

Ivermectin works but it will be weaker on later infections so I would suggest saving that option just in case.

Scabies is creepy as hell but its not really serious medically if that helps a little bit.

Yes in a hurry

@Sheryl is away for a few days. I've tagged this post so she can reply on her return.

[bubba1]

This started on me yesterday. Scabies?

[internationalism]

scabies would rather develop slowly, over several weeks.

If sadden onset maybe sandfly bite - in thailand they are not only on beaches. I got bitten in my local park. Usually you don't feel bite, just within hours redness and later blisters.

As I have mentioned - you can try ivermectin. It has also anti inflammatory properties

Scurvy?

[steven100]

could it be a STD of some sort .....   you best check who the gf's been with. 

[phetphet]

Isn't scabies that disease that one sees in the soi dogs? That makes all their hair fall out?

 

When you say stubborn, does that mean you have already tried medication? As already stated, best advice go see a doctor asap.

[brianthainess]

Stress can bring out all kinds of 'infections' eczema, scabies. Have you been stressed ? go see a doctor.

[Sparktrader]

Zinc cream is good for rashes

Clearly is the most profound profound advice

ever. Do you think it would cure brain tumors too?

Definitely looks like scabies.          

 

I don't believe permethrin is available in Thailand.

 

It is highly contagious and will require extreme caution regarding washing all your clothes and bedding.

 

For an accurate diagnosis a doctor will need to do a small   scraping of  your skin and  examine it under a microscope.

 

Good luck and don't delay seeing a doctor.

Permethrin 1% is to treat lice, 5% is to treat scabies.

If you cant get 5% Permethrin , try Benzyl Benzoate, 40B for 30ml on Lazada.

I don't think that's correct.

You can get heart trouble as a result of scratching, where the infection affects the heart valves.

In real life doctors don't get a definite diagnosis with scraping, that's difficult to do and hit and miss, and instead call it scabies based on symptoms. 

[THAIPHUKET]

Thanks for your replies. I decided to be stubborn as well not only the symptoms.

I used only Tiger cream. Itch declined. Still many red spots.

So was the itching worse at night or not.

 

If its scabies you can get temporary help with tea tree oil.

 

It kills the mites but not the eggs.

 

Since I've definitely had scabies before I could self diagnose. It's quite distinctive. 

 

But yeah you should see a doctor if you're not comfortable with that.
