Calling all nasty-rash experts

[maud gonne]

We just got over a horrible, months-long battle with scabies at our house. The itching can truly drive you mad. Tea tree oil didn't work, a very expensive "green" product (can't remember the name) that claimed it worked on scabies didn't work. Finally we all had to get the heavy duty poison by prescription from the clinic (same as is used for head lice but 10 X stronger) to rid ourselves (plus washing all bedding and the whole house). This is an aside - I don't think the original writer was dealing with scabies. But this also was not easy to identify.
