I'm not sure this goes here, but maybe
someone can help. I went to see my dad
today, he just turned 50. Well anyway,
he told me today that he had scabies, but
they gave him some cream for it. I think
he said it's gone now, but anyway, I
thought that people who git scabies
weren't "clean"? I think he got it from
his dumb*ss wife. She's sp sleasy.
She's nasty too. Anyway, he told me that
he has infections he thinks is from the
scabies. He's on antiboctiocs. Well,
here's the thing i'm worried about, he has
these sores all over him. He said he had
one on his butt cheek, that was like 8-10
inches long. He went to the doctor and
the drained the sore or whatever, and it
looks like the other sore are healing.
He also told me that he wakes up and his
clothes are all wet, from sweating while
he's sleeping. And then he get chills.
Is that from the scabies, or the medicine
he's one? And the medicine he's one
makes him feel sick to his stomache, and
he can barely go to work. So I feel so
bad that I can't help him. So if anyone
has any info on all this please respond.
I'm just really worried that it could be
something else. And he really hasn't
been to the doctor, he went to the er for
the scabies, but they didn't do any blood
work or anything like that. So any info
please

Okay I can address two of your questions
1. Chills/sweats are actually a part of
menopause older men also suffer from a
form of menopause and that is normal
2. Antibiotice will make you stomach
sore, side effects range from
diarrhea,nauseau minor vomiting,headaches
ect, to counteract this stomach problem he
should be eating a yogurt a day.
Antibiotics remove all bacteria, even the
ones that are digestive system needs,
yogurt is a probiotic, meaning it
restores/balances the good bacteria not
right away mind you!

the word "scabies" makes people cringe and
their flesh crawl. Just hearing it can
produce itching.
In fact, scabies is a fairly uncommon and
easily treated condition that isn't even
all that contagious, except in special
circumstances such as in nursing homes.
Most people with scabies are just as clean
and hygienic as anybody else. Dirt has
nothing to do with it!
another that could be happening it may not
even by scabies, usually scabie are
similar to lice and you would use the same
thing to be rid oflice as scabies usually
other things that cause similar reactions
that are curable and I suffer from one
>eczema
>psorias(i think thats the speeling
>ring worm
most of these just require a topical
ointment, I suffer from eczema on my hands
and face and its itcy as hell as well
leaves large lesions/rashes
btw scabies is not a sexually transmitted
diesease, it is just caught by close(long
mind you contact) as in a mom hugging her
child or by sexual contact

Hi sherry 24! You can google scabies.
They are a very itchy little mite that can
hardly be seen. My step-grandmother had
them while in a rest home and we brought
her home and treated her. I do not
remember the sweating but it has been a
while ago. I do hope your .Dad gets
better soon and remember that you can
always get a second opinion.
My thoughts are with you because I know
that .Dad's are special!
