Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

From the symptoms i think you most probably suffering from scabies. It is a skin disorder in which there is itching spread in whole family. Is itching sever at night and between fingers? I would recommend you to visit a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis so that treatment can be started immediately. Although it is not life threatening but may spread to people around you. Once again this disease would be confirmed by examination. I have concluded from the description you gave.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you all good health.
