Im fairly certain I have crusty scabies on my face (chin, eyebrows,along hairline) and have had difficulty getting care due to; mental health issues (bi-polar), and past drug addiction. These are NOT the issue. Been going on awhile. Im miserable. any ideas?? comments.
Scabies and bipolar disorder are not known to be related to each other. Scabies is an infective condition of skin, whereas bipolar is a mental condition. They both are independent of each other. However, a skin infection can perpetuate the underlying mental disorder like depression and mania too, as it is a very potent stressor. a topical medication are advisable here, along with mood stabilizers to manage your mood symptoms.
