I have had scabies for over 8 months and nothing I tried seems to work. The little buggers seem to like me.

Creams and lotions containing permethrin such as Rid and Nix must be applied to the whole body from the neck down. Change clothing and sleep on freshly laundered sheets after you've applied the lotion. Any bedding or clothing that may have been infested should be washed with very hot water or dry-cleaned.

You need to go to the doctor so that you can get a prescription for the qwell lotion to apply to your body. You have to leave it on your skin for hours and then wash it off. You have to also wash and bleach your bedding and spray your mattress with some special stuff. Otherwise, you are treating yourself for nothing.
Where are you getting them from???? Did you know that you can get them from dogs? Scabies is to humans, what scarcoptic mange is to a dog. That is where I got it from both times I have had it. Petting a pretty little dog.
You can find a lot of information at the following website.

Have you spoken to a doctor about this? Surely, they would've recommended something.
If you haven't, then I wouldn't follow any of the recommendations on here.

Oh my. Get some Kwellada lotion from the drugstore and look after it. Wash all your bedding and laundry and vacuum the house. That is a very contagious thing you got there; please look after it!!!
