Signs of scabies?
My local doctor prescribed me medication for scabies even though she said I did not have the typical symptoms, more for precaution. I have been itching a lot at night, mostly my back, sides of my stomach and thighs. However, I have no rash-like symptoms, no scabies burrows, no itchiness on my hands, arms, legs or feet.
Could this still be a sign of scabies or can nighttime itchiness be a sign of something else? I have not changed my eating habits, no allergic reactions to medication etc.
