I have scabies & have been doctoring since march. first the cream then about 7 doses of the pill. how do i get rid of them?

Perhaps not scabies: If you have been treating yourself then get in to see a doctor. If your doctor has been treating you and it hasn't cleared up it may not be scabies. Ask your doctor, in that case, to refer you to a dermatologist.
