General Practitioner Questions Skin Rash

Sores and bugs on skin!

My friend has sores all over her skin, and has even picked bugs out. There were a bunch in her bra as well. I'm scared I will get this too. She showed me one and it jumped! I thought lice didn't jump... but what else can it be? Her doctor called in a cream for her that she is using. What could this be and should I be worried that I may get it too?

Sounds like lice. The drug of choice for lice is permethin, which can be purchased over the counter at your local drug store. And yes, they can easlity be transferred from one person to another.
