    Those are the types of scratches we get. I'd say put a topical on that right away..that is the egg laying you are seeing. Clove, permethrin, oil of oregano, lemon, rosemary..all things I'd suggest to get those taken out. Don't let them take a foot hold.

    P.S. with our scabies, we really didn't have much itchiness. There is a type called crusted (Norwegian) scabies that isn't too itchy.
