To be honest with you…I was embarrassed with my Scabies because I felt like I was dirty…how else could I explain what was wrong with me? My whole body itched constantly. I was afraid that I was going to spread my scabies to other people. And, I was even becoming so self-conscious that I wouldn’t go outside…I was just so miserable.
I was losing sleep because I couldn’t stop scratching. Then, almost worse than that, was the feeling that something was crawling under my skin, and—since I refused to use the prescription my doctor ordered because it seemed to burn my skin— I had no idea where to turn, so I sucked it up and suffered in silence.
