Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Indeed it appears to me that you are suffering from scabies. If I was your treating doctor I would have definitely wanted to treat you to treat you for scabies, empirically.

Single application of 5%permethrin cream, to the whole body, from neck downwards and keeping it overnight for 8 hours would be sufficient to cure scabies.

An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine once daily would help you symptomatically by reducing the itching.
