Hi,
Thanks for query,
In scabies one get itching on whole body or the part affected.
Scabies very common inbetween fingers of both upper and lower limbs.
If you find small watery blisters between your two fingers it is confirm scabies.
Apply Benzyl benzoate lotion all over body except face at night after taking bath and take bath in the next morning.
Repeat after a week.
Give treatment to other family members.
ok and bye.
