Brief Answer:
This is not scabies. More of an allergy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the images.

I have reviewed them and this is suggestive of an allergy and not scabies. Seen the extensive nature, I will recommend that you get systemic steroids.

I wish you well and keep me posted. Unfortunately, I cannot call you!
