Hi,
About 10 weeks ago, my flat (probably my duvet) became flea-infested, which was probably due to the mice in the flat, which I have since got rid of.
For about a month I couldn't figure out what was going on - I thought it was mosquitos - and got small itchy bites over every inch of my body, especially on the groin area and inner thighs.
Went on holiday for 2 weeks, and of course the bites stopped. Came back and used flea-killer, cleaned the flat, threw out the duvets, and haven't been bitten since.
My whole body continued to itch for weeks, which I attributed to the flea bites. After a while the bite scars faded, but the itch remained, even intensified, so that it would wake me up at night. I'd been prescribed Dermovate cream for these itchy bubble-like growths under the skin on my hands (that appeared at the same time as the bites), so I tried (just as an experiment) applying the cream to my whole body. The itching stopped within 2 days.
Everywhere, that is, except my testicles. They still itch like hell, and the bites I got 2 months ago have now turned into pea-sized lumps - three of them on my scrotum. They look a lot like keloid scars (of which I have a few on my body), but itch much worse. Two mosquito bites on my lower stomach (one of them more than a month old) have turned into similar itchy keloid-like bumps. Other than that, my body's clear and itch-free.
I've tried dermovate on these bumps, but with little effect - the itching abates while the cream is on, but returns when I don't apply it, and the bumps stay - and seem to be slowly growing.
Does anyone know what's going on?

I have the same syptoms. I believe it is scabies. If you look it up on wikipedia.org they also describe our syptoms very accurately. But I am interested in hearing from you or other members as to what you have found.

My daughters both got flea bites from a beach house rental. I had some Domeboro powder packets. Put 2 packets in a warm bath. They soaked for about half hour. The next morning no more welts no more itching. It might be worth a try!!!
Don't rule out bed bugs ... They itch like crazy and they are exterminated in a different manner than fleas ...
Imy testicles have fleas on them
Made them hard I wash them with antibacterial soap and they got irritated and bit through some came out but more are in there biting and bleeding what should I do they are in my navel all around
