Hi all,
I’m having a itchy problem and I’m overwhelmed with not knowing, really longing for clarity. I hope you have some advice for me.
During the Camino I was itchy almost all the time. Once I found bed bugs in my sleeping bag. I went through all the steps washed and dried everything VERY hot, threw out a lot of stuff, sprayed with toxic stuff from the albergue owners. Went through this process multiple times.
Returning home I stripped naked in the toilet at the train station, changed clothes (which my partner brought), put everything in big bags etc etc. Handled everything super carefully again.
Also, a professional came to inspect my house for bed bugs and couldn’t find anything.
I keep on feeling itchy, and now my partner (after 3+ weeks of being home) also gets itchy.
The doctor mentioned scabies, but he said the symptoms were not really pointing to it (chest, back, legs, arms, neck - not necessarily hands). But I keep this in mind and might go through the treatment for this.
My skin shows very tiny red spots (see picture1+2, most are even smaller than this). The worst itch was 5 days after being back home (picture3). It’s not so visible, but the itch is there and I’m feeling socially isolated because I don’t want to spread anything. Just want to know what it is. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!
