Hi! scabies is very contagious and you need to apply permethrin 5% cream/lotion in the affected areas and possibly you have to disinfect all clothes / dresses with chlorhexidine solution available commercially.
Therefore, see a dermatologist for a clinical examination and a prescription and directions for use!
Wishing you good health!
