I have no antihistamine at home or lyclear cream to use for my scabies i'm so itchy. what do i have to do to prevent it?

Needs treatment: Scabies rash cannot be treated with antihistamine. You need an anti-mite cream or oral medication to kill them. Even then the itching may linger on for many more days after. See your doctor if otc anti-mite agents failed.
