Itchy Legs And Stomach, Scabbies, Spreading. What Does This Mean?

I've been insanely itchy mainly on my upper legs and stomach for the past few weeks i noticed it after my girlfriend found out she had scabbies so i thought it was just that,but i have treated my self and its still just as bad keeping me up at night and it seems to have spread to my arms and lower legs. i have no idea what it is i dont notice it most of the time when i am out of the house but it seems as soon as i get home and start to relax it starts up and gets worse through the night
