I think I may have scabies.
For the last 10 days I've been itchy under my breast, underarms, sides by my waist, groin, arms, and sometimes scalp. It's not so itchy at night or day anymore. I had a small rash with red bumps and they had black dots (scabs)
I went to 2 different doctors ... the first said dermatitis and yeast infection. I asked her to be sure and she said it didn't look like scabies at all. The second dr i was scared and wanted it to be taken seriously. So i just said that i had a roommate with scabies. She looked at the bumps said it could be burrows or something else...
I don't want to treat for scabies if it's not scabies. But im taking effexor, clotrimazole and hydrocortisone

You could be having some form of allergic reaction or fungal infection. Usually the burrows in scabies are not visible so clearly. Complete the course of medicines and follow up with your Dermatologist.
