Wonder Oil!: I had to wiki that oil, it's good for what ails you. I would go with a traditional treatment. Call your doctor they would suggest; 1st permethrin or ivermectin, 2nd malathion or benzyl benzoate. 3rd lindane

Dr. Lisa Robertsanswered

Itchy rash: Scabies is a very itchy and annoying rash that comes from a mite that likes to burrow itself underneath the skin. It is contagious and has a predisposition for certain hidden areas of the body (such as the webs of the fingers/toes, creases under the breasts, and elbows). It can be generalized in a baby. Sometimes it can look like a little pimple or insect bite, and other times it can be crusted.

Dr. Pamela Lindoranswered

ITCHING: The biggest difference is probably the intense itching associated with scabies. Scabies lesions also do not "heal" the way you would expect a scratch from playing to heal. Scabies lesions can occur anywhere on the body, but often are found between the fingers and toes, along the waist band, under the arms, in the neck or other areas where skin rubs against skin.

Contact: The scabies mite is transmitted by direct contact. Skin to skin or clothing to skin or other contaminated surface to skin. The mites will more than likely not live long off the skin. The most assured way is skin to skin contact.
