Pretty sure u have scabies after spending time in a hostel. i will be doing lyclear tonight but i also have family over scared to give it to others.

Scabies: Scabies can take effort to get rid of. 1st, you ; all members of family need to be treated. Ivermectin is effective for treating scabies (oral or topical). 2nd, you’ll have to clean (ie. Hot water in machine) clothes, bedding ; towels you have come in contact w. Some things like pillows can’t go in the wash- put them in a big plastic bag ; tie it up for at least 48 hrs because scabies can survive.
