Scabies

Scabies is a very itchy, contagious skin infection caused by the scabies mite.

You get rashes and pimples because of an allergic reaction to the scabies mites’ eggs and faeces.

The good news is that scabies is treatable!

How do you get scabies?

You can get scabies by close body contact, which includes having sex. Another way to get scabies is to share bedding, clothes, or furniture with someone infected with scabies.

Crowded places such as prisons, nursing homes, and child-care facilities are ideal spreading grounds for a scabies infection.

It’s important to be aware that a person infected with scabies can spread it without having any symptoms.

How can you protect yourself against scabies?

1. Stop having sex with someone infected with scabies.

2. Wash bedding, clothing, and other shared items in extremely hot water.
If you share bedding or clothing with an infected person, it’s important to wash these items in extremely hot water, at 60 degree Celsius or hotter. Items that can’t be washed, such as mattresses or cushions, dry clean them or seal them in a plastic bag for at least 72 hours.

In general, scabies mites can’t survive without human skin for more than two to three days.

3. Get treated for scabies infection.
If any member in your household has a scabies infection, seek treatment for it. A scabies infection can be transmitted without a person having symptoms.

What are the signs that you’ve got scabies?

If you’re infected with scabies, you’ll begin to notice symptoms within two to six weeks of getting infected. Sometimes symptoms may appear as quickly as four days after infection.

During this time you can spread the infection to people you live with, sexual partners, or anyone else you’re in close physical contact with. So if you’ve got signs of scabies infection, let these people know so they can seek treatment too.

You get symptoms because of an allergic reaction to scabies mites’ eggs and faeces. At first you may have a mild skin irritation followed by intense itching all over your body. This intense itching is particularly bad at night or after a hot shower or bath.

You may get pimple-like or itchy rashes on areas such as:

  •     Wrists
  •     Between fingers
  •     Elbows
  •     Armpits
  •     Penis
  •     Nipples
  •     Under the breasts
  •     Buttocks
  •     Around the anus

How do you get tested for scabies?

Go to your doctor or nearest health care provider for a diagnosis. They’ll look to see if you have skin rashes in a characteristic scabies pattern. Sometimes they’ll scrape your pimples or rashes and examine the scrapings under a microscope to see if there are mites, eggs, or scabies mite faeces.

How do you get rid of scabies?

Getting rid of scabies involves three steps: medication, washing infected items, and informing any sexual partners or people who’ve come into contact with your clothing and bedding.

And if you still have itching, new burrows, or pimple-like rashes two to four weeks after treatment, you may need to go through this process again.

1. Scabies medication
Washing with ordinary soap won’t make a difference. There are no over-the-counter or non-prescription scabies treatments. So go to your doctor or health care provider if you’ve got scabies symptoms.

Purchase the prescribed scabicide (medication that kills scabies) lotion or cream. Prior to applying it on your body, wash and towel yourself dry. Apply the scabicide all over your body from your neck down to your toes.

If you’re treating infants and children, the scabicides need to also be applied to the face, scalp, and neck area. Leave the treatment on for the recommended time before washing it off.

2. Hot Water Washing
Wash any of your clothes that you wore before getting treatment and any of your bedding in water that’s 60° Celsius or hotter. If you can’t wash your clothes, either dry clean them or seal them in a plastic bag for 72 hours. Do this also with your mattress and pillows. Otherwise, you can become re-infected with scabies.

Without human skin to live in, mites generally don’t survive for more than two to three days.

3. Informing your sexual partners
Tell your sexual partner(s) or anyone else who may have come into contact with your bedding, clothing, or towels to get tested and treated too. Otherwise you could end up getting scabies again.

    1. Hi Kevo,

      Hi Kevo,
      It sounds like you are coming earlier than you would like, this often happens to young men who don’t have a lot of sexual experience because they get very aroused very easily. With more sexually experienced men, it might be due to psychological problems, like fear, stress or depression.
      Generally though go slow, enjoy the buildup of touching and caressing each other. Make time for oral sex during your physical interactions. Take time focusing on your partner as well as yourself. Communicate together about what feels nice, what doesn’t and what you would like to try together. Experiment, explore and try new things!
      Make sure to use lots of lube and switch up the fun. Even if you do orgasm you can take some time to have oral sex with your partner until your body is ready to go again. Change positions and mix it up.
      Some people say condoms help them last longer, while others may use cock rings (just make sure it is the right size and not too tight!).
      Generally just remember that sex is more than just penetration and there are lots of ways to enjoy each other.
      If you are finding that you really cannot maintain an erection then it might be time to see a doctor. There are some medical conditions that can affect your performance but would need to be looked by a professional.
      You can also keep masturbating, however challenge yourself to last longer. Go slow, feel the way your body changes when you are getting closer to climax. Tease yourself, find tricks that help you delay the finish.

    1. Hi Snipper,

      Hi Snipper,
      are you having sex around the time of her ovulation? That’s really important.
      And having been on the pill for a while might mean that it take a bit longer to get pregnant, but it shouldn’t affect her for longer than a few months.
      If the problem persists, please see a doctor together.

    1. Hi there,

      Hi there,
      It depends. Each person will have a different threshold for sex. It depends on your body, your partners body and a mix of age, health, stamina, endurance and desire. Generally speaking sex will be 5-15 min but that is just a ballpark. 

      Generally speaking as long as you want it and it feels good, do it. Stop when you are done, tired, or are no longer in the mood.

      To put it briefly, sex is the act- whether oral, vaginal or anal.
      Making love has a more emotional aspect to it- connecting with your partner.
      This might not be the case for everybody, and some people may completely disagree! What do you think the main difference is?

      it depends. Just like you will not take the same amount of time every time you have sex, the same applies to women. And if varies from woman to woman, too. Some are faster, some slower.
      But, generally, it takes women longer than men. An estimation is about 20 minutes, but again, it depends.

    1. Mosa,

      Mosa,

      Reaching out to people that you are attracted to can be difficult because of the fear of being rejected. However, they are no different than how would approach a friend, family or other person. The initial hello and coming up with small talk is the same idea except the person is front of you is attractive.

      The best way to do this when you are nervous is to talk to people who share interest. Do they go to school with you? Are they working? Did you meet them at the movies? This way there is already a commonality between you an it gives you the first conversation topic. Find other people who like what you like and try to mingle from there.

      Otherwise, just be honest. Tell them who you are, why you approached the (they said something smart, they like the same team, you find them beautiful etc) and then build the conversation from there. Tell them about yourself, and ask questions about them. You are attracted to them and ideally as you learn more about them you will become interested in them.

      Everyone has nerves and the girls know that. They will be flattered that you even tried to reach out and talk.

      you should be talking to him about this. Sex is about communication. And you, as a couple, need to find ways to talk about it, and to talk about what you like and what you don’t like. Only then can sex really become good and satisfying for both of you.

  53. Hi, I have questions to ask:

    Hi, I have questions to ask:
    1. whenever I think about my first x . I feel like I made a mistake in letting her go, on contrary at times I felt she also hurt me by dumping me . what should I do ? I have been after her for a while she doesn’t seem to give me back the trust and attention she had before.
    2. I really feel shy after making love and sex .
    3. I often masturbate whenever I feel like doing sex and this would be 12th year will it interfere with my future sexual ability and sperm count?
    4. I am often hurt mostly when I approach a lady and expresses my emotions and concerns to her and she takes no heed about in return just keep quiet and no positive response advice.
    5. Lastly how do you realise she loves you for real?

    1. 1. once trust has been broken
      1. once trust has been broken, it is really difficult to gain it back. Time and patience, along with openness and honesty, would be the only way to go.
      2. is that always the case, or only with new partners?
      3, no, absolutely not.
      4. take your time before telling women how you feel about them. Try to start feeling out gently if they maybe like you back, before proclaiming your love to them.
      5. only time will tell. But you can look for signs- does she introduce you to her friends, does she make plans for the future with you, and so on.

    1. Geoff,

      Geoff,
      we believe what you mean is super-infection. When a person who is positive gets infected with another strain of the virus.
      But that is only a risk if two infected people have unprotected sex with each other- it doesn’t have anything to do with someone who is negative.

    explain about those safe days plz..

    1. Yakuz,

      Yakuz,
      there is no such thing as safe days.
      It’s true that during every cycle, there are days were a woman can’t get pregnant. But it differs from woman to woman and month to month when these days are. And you need to factor in that sperm can survive in the body for quite a while.
      In general, the first few days before and after menstruation have a low risk of pregnancy, while the time around ovulation has the highest risk.

    1. Eric,

      Eric,
      it sounds like she isn’t ready yet, so you shouldn’t be pushing her.
      Be gentle, start with caressing each other, and maybe oral sex, but hold off the sex until she is relaxed and ready- that might take a few months though, if it happens.

      no body is perfect and that’s okay! You are beautiful and unique just the way you are, even if this is not the way ‘traditional beauty’ is portrait.
      Your partner likes you because of who you are, and I am sure that some imperfections won’t matter in the whole picture!

      Gentalman,
      are you paying plenty of attention to her clitoris? That’s the small ‘button’ right at the entrance to her vagina. Most women can’t orgasm from intercourse alone; they need clitoral stimulation.
      Try to use your fingers to very gently rub it next time you have sex- but be very, very gentle, it’s a very sensitive spot.

      Patrice,
      Wanting sex every few days does not make you an addict. It’s normal.
      If you want to have sex less often, try other things. (Mutual) masturbation, oral sex, outercourse… And see if you get as much pleasure from it!

      Hi Bianca, thanks for writing to us.

      When it comes to relationship and sex things can get complicated as the years go by. What i mean is sex with a new partner is mostly adventurous and exciting. but as the ears progress the excitement reduces. so its up to the partner to keep the sex spiced up. So you need to take time to decide if you will continue cheating or you will stop and work on your relationship.

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Love matters strives to give factual and credible information to all our clients.

      When one asks that question for example, you need to realise there are two parties involved. If one wants something and the other does not, then it comes down to sacrifice and compromise.

      When you talk about sex very person has the right to say no for their own personal reasons.

      We don’t give tricks or lies to people to use against other people.

    2. Hi Beauty,

      Hi Beauty,

      Sorry that you are going through that. But unless you feel you can do something about it, the truth is the ball is on his hands whether he wants to forgive you or not. Unfortunately trust is lost more easily than it is gained.

      Take time to reflect on this whole situation and decide what you want to do about it.

    1. Hi Adex,

      Hi Adex,

      Its normal for people whether men or women not to be in the mood for sex. Sometimes its ok just to give your partner space if they do not want to have sex.

      You can talk about it and if she feels she needs help in getting in the mood then you can work through it together. If not then its ok to wait it out.

  149. i am in a marriage for one
    i am in a marriage for one and a half years now,usually i dont like sex that much unlike my man likes it and this brings a big contrast into this marriage,…it has always been a war whenever he wants sex,sometimes he can force i but penetration fails since am not ready and there is no lubrication………..i dont know how to handle this since i know very wel that he does not slip outside.what can i do about it?.

    1. Hi Litsa,

      Hi Litsa,

      Thats a difficult position to be in for anyone.

      You need to ask yourself a few questions like did you like sex before and you do not like it anymore? If so what changed?

      It would be a good idea to talk to your partner about it and share how you feel. You could also teach him how to turn you on if that is the issue.

        we dated shortly and got married,i use to enjoy sex before until that time i got pregnant unaware.the pregnancy issues brought chaos in our marriage since it seems this gay was not yet ready to have kids with me because he already had 2 kids with another woman whom he divorced and left him with the kids…………he talked so much about this pregnancy and even claimed that i could have stopped it from happening,….am so afraid abou this since i dont know weather he really wanted a wife or someone to take care of his kids……that makes me withdraw from sex soo much since i felt intimidated.
