Scabies

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Public places like hotel rooms are common for scabies infection.
Wit your history and type of lesions it looks like scabies.
Apply Pemethrin 5 % Lotion in night all over body and wash off in morning.
Single application is sufficient.
Take tablet cetrizine daily in night for 15 days to control itching.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
