@Fadeaway I really hope you are right. I've never had scabies and would rather not experience it. I have been reading up and it says you'd need to be in close contact with an infected person -- I haven't been in contact with anyone apart from my baby. And he doesn't have any rashes; I doubt he gave me scabies. The only thing is if it came from old furniture, but apparently that is very rare with scabies? It is starting to itch, though I guess any rash would itch, since it's essentially always some form of skin irritation. I really REALLY hope it's not scabies, because all the doctor's offices nearby are closed for the holiday (I am considering just asking them to bill me at a local clinic out here rather than trying to make the 2-hour drive). Fingers crossed that it will subside by tomorrow. I put diaper rash cream on it.
