Could I Have Scabies?

I've been experiencing horrible itching @ night for the past 2 weeks.  I can't sleep b/c of it.  My inner thighs & wrist are itching the worst.  I have little hard bumps, mostly white ones, on my wrist.  I have red bumps on my inner thighs & I've been scratching so bad that they are probably infected.  It's not a rash.  Could it be scabies?

Iv had severe itching of my chest and back for months now, the itchin is terrible, day and night. My dr says it is scabies and is treating me for it, although the rash is not on my hands, just back and chest, and some of it is infected so im on anti biotics. They are like pus filled pimples. Iv seen pics of scabies and it does not look like them. What can it be

A family member of mine had scabies.  I researched it and found some pictures.  If you can, look in the surrounding area near the white bumps.  If there is a black spot near them, that would be a scabie near an egg sac.  You should go to the doctor because it will only get worse.  They have antibiotics that work specifically for scabies and creams that will work in conjunction.
