Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!

Medicine for scabies is application of permethrin overnight after a scrub bath to whole body except on face. All family members need treatment.
Kindly describe the lesions in detail to make a diagnosis.

Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query.
Take care!
