I think I have scabies
I itch constantly, and it gets worse at night. I have little red bumps on my skin, and the itching is mostly on my arms, knees, inner thighs, and backs of my hands. My boyfriend bought a mattress off of one of his friends a few weeks ago and I've been staying over with him a lot. He itches too, but he thinks it's because he sweats a lot at work. I think that we've picked up scabies from the mattress.
