Could it be?

Hi

I wanted to ask for those who may have had Scabies. Can it present itself without a real rash? I've had a very irritating and constant itch since October, I got the odd day or two when it calms down but most days it's driving me mad. There isn't really a spot on my body that doesn't get the itch or skin crawling sensation at times. I approached my doctor about it and she asked if I had any rash breakdown and I told her no because I didn't have anything noticeable to me that I'd expect a big rash breakout to look like, sure I get spots here and there but I put it down to just being overweight and stuff.

Anyways after 3 months and 3 blood tests I was sent a letter telling me I had an appointment with the diabetic eye screening clinic, I wasn't even contacted to confirm the diabetes first but I have it anyways and I think there is just an assumption it's that, there has basically been nothing else said about the itch thus far. I have noticed I'm getting more spots than usual on my skin, couple small red patches on the top of my hand which I don't know where they came from.

So yes, could I have Scabies going on without it being a big rash breakout? Would it be ok for me to try and get some cream myself and self treat, if I even can, I hear there is major shortages in Permethrin and big break outs in Scabies the past 2 months.
