Patient's question:
A 8-year-old girl developed scabies two months ago, and it has now healed. However, she now wakes up in the middle of the night and cannot fall back asleep until it's close to dawn. She is reluctant to get up in the morning. Is this related to the scabies she had?Doctor's answer:
The child's spider angioma was acquired two months ago, and it is presumed that it has been actively treated and has already healed. Some spider angiomas may leave behind neuralgia. The child, apart from changes in deep sleep, seems to have no other symptoms. How did the parent recall the current condition of the child being related to the illness? The child's specific situation cannot be confirmed at the moment. If the parent feels it is necessary, they can talk to a psychologist.
