usually the areas affected are the finger webs underarms skin folds under breasts shoulders & the itching is usually more prominent at night. Do you have any pets or family members that are showing the same signs & have you been seen by a doctor. you can see with a magnifying glass if you have one any feces in the burrow which is a line of raised welts or lesions is a definite sign of the condition. the standard treatment is permethrin which is applied head to feet & also ivermectin can be prescribed or it can be purchased at a feed store promectin b pour on for cattle can be used for other animals & an oral measuring syringe can be used to configure an appropriate dosage depending on weight there is a video on youtube that shows a person using it for a guinea pig & it is applied topically Id imagine it can also be used for a person as well also clove oil & tea tree oil is beneficial neem oil can be used for pets & people & in worst cases dilute ammoniated mercury 5% can be prescribed usually for crusted scabies also known as norwegian Ive also heard grapefruit seed extract has been used sucessfully but havent purchased yet hope this helps any other questions please let me know thank you
