What Causes Intense Itching Sensation On Skin And Headaches?

I believe I have had scabies for years. I get an out break near my naval 1 to two times a year. It feels like something is burrowing in my skin with intense itching and tiny pinches. Also I started getting headaches about the same time. Do you think there is any thing connect headaches to scabies. My sister told me I probably have scabies. I looked it up on line and have the exact symptons. What can I do for it with home remedies?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that you are having scabies infection and not eradicated completely.
Reason for not cured completely is failure of application anti-scabies lotion like Ascabiol properly.
To go for proper application go like this.
Before application take shower and clean affected part with rough towel so that all bumps or blisters are open and lotion can penetrate deeply into the lesion.
Do not wear any cloths for some time till lotion enters into the lesion and skin becomes dry.
Keep it over night and in the morning and take shower.
Apply lotion all over body except face.
Go for this treatment to your family members as well.
If there is bacterial infection over the lesion due to itching then you might get headache or fever.
Take Benadryl or cetrizine for itching.
Ok and take care.
