Doesn't look good. :( I mean, could be worse, but definitely doesn't look good. You don't know what it is right? It might be scabies. Which are a huge pain but will eventually go away with some proper meds.

I told her it might be scabies, too! Steph, it's super easy to get rid of if it is scabies, but you do need to see a doctor to get the prescription. It's just a topical cream that you rub all over, and it kills them. The bad part is that you have to wait for your skin to shed the dead bodies before the rash goes away completely.

When you see the doctor, make sure to say you think it might be scabies. It's not all that common and it took me an ER trip (they thought it was an STD...) and then a whole team of doctors at my regular place to figure it out, since I tested negative to everything :P

Yes, exactly. Good advice. She should probably print some info out even to take with her. I had friends that went through it for a lot longer than they needed to because the doctors kept telling them they were getting bit by carpet mites. :/ Until finally they discovered it was actually indeed scabies. :/
