Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Scabies is caused by infestation of mite and is highly contagious.
Treatment includes oral and topical scabicidal drugs.
Over-the-counter remedies are not effective in eliminating scabies. OTC drugs can only subside the symptoms for a time being only.

Brief Answer:
Picture not clear
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome again,
Although picture is not very clear, there is urticarial wheals are also visible. two red lesion is seen which is not of scabies.
In scabies site is also specific. papules are seen in web space of finger, wrist, ulnar border(i.e. inner side of forearm and arm), genitalia and abdomen.
You need to undergo clinical examination to confirm or rule out scabies.
In the mean time you can take Levocetrizine, can apply calamine lotion with camphor and menthol mixed preparation.
Short course of topical steroid would help subsiding the lesion fast but before this scabies should be ruled out.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks
