Scabies?
Posted: 02-14-07 18:55pm

I recently discovered a red bump on my leg about 3 days ago. I figured that this was just from shaving but,this morning I woke up to find 4 more around the same area. I was wondering if anyone had an idea to what this is?
The bumps are a little itchy but other than that no big deal

Do you have pets in the house that go outside? If so its possible they are flea bites. Try some cortisone cream and maybe benedryl. If this doenst' clear it up, i'm clueless! Hope you figure it out! Rolling Eyes

There are some photos of skin infected with scabies.

It would probably be a good idea to visit a doctor as if it is scabies it needs to be treated with a cream immediately.

You can buy creams for scabies online.
