Yes: I hope that you are being treated by a physician with a topical medication used top to toe and repeated in a week. Follow your physician's instructions closely.

Scabies: Yes , This is the main symptom of scabies. This is often severe and tends to be in one place at first (often the hands), and then spreads to other areas. The itch is generally worse at night and after a hot bath. Due to scratching they can become red and appear bruised. http://patient.info/health/scabies-leaflet
