itchy bumps 2

I looked up scabies and saw pictures of it I think that is what i have and now that worries me because my son is only 16 months old and i am worried what his doctor will think i get him in. Also I don't have medical insurance and can't afford to see a doctor so I don't know how I am going to get me checked. But i really think it is what i have and I think i know who I got it from too. now i just got to figure out what i can do?

Hello,
For scabies in infants, topical permethrin 0.5% cream (Elimite) can be used but it has to be taken after a dermatologist’s prescription.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
