If : If you are referring to scabies (which is not a virus but a mite) you can try an over the counter Permethrin cream as directed. All sick contacts should be treated as well. In addition wash all bedding, clothes, etc. In very hot water. I hope you find relief soon.

I : I assume you are talking about scabies infection caused by the human itch mite, sarcoptes scabeii. These infestations are caused from contact with an infected person (or their clothing, towels, linens, etc.). The best way to get rid of this infestation is to see a dermatologist and get a prescription such as Permethrin cream. There is also a pill that can work to clear the infestation. It is imperative that any persons that are itching in your household also be treated. Lastly, all linens, bedsheets, etc. Used in the last 48 hours must be laundered. I hope this helps!
