Can scabies live in a freezer?
Yes, it's recommended that you freeze anything you can overnight (8+hrs). I have put my pillow, sheets, and clothing that I would wear whilst I awaited the perm cream (Rx) to take affect. Then just slept on the couch over the next 36+hrs to avoid coming in contact with the mites again. They cannot live outside the body for any longer, so simply quarantine yourself accordingly while using the freezing method. Scabies can also be gotten rid of by boiling, but that's too much work when you have a freezer :) I steamed my floors with one of those Shark branded floor cleaners daily as well and froze my shoes every night while alternating between pairs until the 36+hrs passed.
Can you give a girl jock itch?
Jock itch on a man (Trichophyton rubrum) is mildly contagious - it will cause the same infection on women. The rash from jock itch will be red, tan or brown and skin will appear to be dry and cracking, rippling and peeling.
A woman with a yeast infection (Candida albicans) will spread the infection to her sexual partner, about 15% of the time. The fungus that causes a yeast infection will cause a red and wet looking rash.
Condoms are helpful in preventing the spread of either fungus. For either infection, keeping the skin dry and clean is your best defense, Allowing the area to "air out" can be a huge help. After bathing, air dry for as long as you can. Wearing 100% cotton underwear and pants will help the skin stay healthy, in warm or cold weather. Change out of a wet bathing suit or workout clothing as soon as possible.
Once infected by yeast, the use of OTC medication such as Monistat (which comes with a topical anti-itch cream) is equally effective for women or men. Follow the directions on the box, use for the full treatment (3 to 7 days).
The commonly used OTC medications Lamisil, Micatin and Lotrimin are effective in clearing the fungus from jock itch 50% of the time. Use the medication for a full 2 weeks, if needed for a persistent infection, use for 2 more weeks. Some fungal infections require stronger medication such as Nystatin or oral medications such as Flucon available by prescription.
As soon as treatment begins, wash all towels and sheets in hot water and bleach - for 20 minutes, use the second rinse option. Use the hottest, water appropriate with bleach, for clothing. Change any clothing that comes in contact with infected skin with each application of anti-fungal.

A fungal infection of the groin.
Jock itch is a pretty common fungal infection of the groin and upper thighs. It's part of a group of fungal skin infections called tinea. The medical name for jock itch is tinea cruris (pronounced: tih-nee-uh krur-us).
Jock itch, like other tinea infections, is caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: dur-mah-tuh-fites). All of us have microscopic fungi and bacteria living on our bodies, and dermatophytes are among them. Dermatophytes live on the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas like the insides of the thighs. So, when the groin area gets sweaty and isn't dried properly, it provides a perfect environment for the fungi to multiply and thrive.

I have been on cymbalta for some time and I do have times when I feel itchy all over. I also, on more than one occasion, get blistery itchy bumps. At first I thought it was poison ivy.

Hello.
Body itching isn't usually a pregnancy symptom but some pregnant women do experience itchy breasts and nipples.
If you are in the late second or third trimester and you are itchy get to the doctor IMMEDIATELY as this can be a symptom of liver problem.
Hi,
I would just like to add that when I was pregnant with my son, although he was 3 weeks premature, during the last 3-4 weeks of pregnancy I had a bumpy,pinkish rash below my elbow, on the inside of my arm, and also on several of my fingers. The only reason I know it was something to do with the pregnancy and not a regular rash or allergic reaction is because once I gave birth to him, within a few hours the rash was gone. I was putting on a prescription cream before that and, although it helped the itching, it didn't help it go away.
I still joke with my husband about being "allergic" to pregnancy. LOL
