Hi,
It seems that you are having scabies infection due to coming in contact with scabies patients.
You require extensive treatment for scabies to remove infection from body.
Go for treatment to your other family members as well.
Consult dermatologist and go for specific treatment.
Meanwhile take Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizine for itching.
Ok and take care.
