hi megscott77
It's kind of hard to tell, that first image kind of looked like scabies but I can't be sure and I sure wouldn't try and diagnose you. I'm no Dr but I will tell you this much from experience...I fought those things for 2 years, it was a nightmare, thought I was loosing my mind with the uncontrollable itching! I went to the Dr and was prescribed Permethine, rub that into your skin from head to toe. Leave on for 12-14 hours then shower, 2 weeks later you must do a follow up treatment otherwise you won't get rid of them. The eggs left by the adult scabies hatch by then and you need to treat them as soon as they are born! Chances are you don't get close enough to your roommates to catch scabies, skin to skin contact is the major way of getting them. But buy some lice spray, that is 100% Permethine, spay areas your room mates sit( if you also sit there. And if your Dr does perscribe you the Permethine, defiantly use the spray on your mattress and furniture you can't cant wash in hot water like your bedding and clothing recently worn. That's the best advice I can give...good luck.
