how do i tell my boyfriend i infected him with scabies?

Hello Doc. me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 months now. I got treated of scabies before we got together we have a great relationship we are very close and happy. Now he is showing symptoms of scabies and I'm terrified, horrified and so scared to tell him i know what he has and i feel so embarrassed and the most part i feel terrible to know that i passed it on to him. i don't want him to go through the itching and i want him to get treated as soon as possible.

i dont know how I got reinfected i'm showing symptoms too, i washed all my clothes and bedding every day with hot water for 2 weeks got treated and i thought i got rid of it but it came back I'm desperate please help me

A relapse may mean just a hypersensitivity to the dead mites and should not be confused with reinfection.This may last for a couple of weeks.
Do ask your boyfriend to get treated before it spreads to the other members of his family.Afterall the parasite has to be blamed for the spread, not you ok?
