I picked up scabies because some people living low lifes were at my grandma's and left them there.  I had to get Elomite (prescribed) cream and all my clothes and linens had to be washed in hot water.  Scabies typically cause worse itching at night and like to attack certain areas of the body.

Thank you for responding back. And know I don't get fevers ... but I was looking it up on the internet of the symptoms I've been having and it might be scabies .... I'm go for a doctor check ASAP....

Don't scratch and wear soft gloves in case you accidentally do.  I'm wondering if you might have chicken pox?  You might try Caladry directly on the itchy place.  Other things to try would be milk of magnesia or white vinegar on the itchy spots.  Do you have any fever with this?

go for a skin check up first. maybe it is an allergy that u ate what you are not supposed to. at times some people have delicate bodies that if they take long without De-worming, it can effect them.
