This is not necessarily scabies.

Here is some info on scabies, but TBH I would recommend you consult a doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.

Scabies
Scabies can affect anyone of any age. It causes a rash and itch. It can be passed on to others. Treatment with a cream or lotion will usually clear scabies, but you need to apply it properly.


What causes scabies?

Scabies is caused by a mite (a tiny insect). The female mite tunnels into the skin and lays eggs. The eggs hatch into mites after a few days.

How do you get scabies?

You need close skin-to-skin contact with an infected person to catch scabies. The mites live in skin but die after a short time if they are away from the skin.

Most cases are probably caught from holding hands with an infected person. The hand is the most common site to be first affected. Sleeping in the same bed, and sexual contact are other common ways of passing on the mite.

Sometimes outbreaks of scabies occur in nurseries or residential homes where people are in close contact.

What are the symptoms of scabies?

Itch is often severe. Itchy skin tends to be in one area at first (often the hands), and then spreads to other parts of the body. The itch tends to be worse at night and after a hot bath.
A rash usually appears soon after the itch starts. It is typically a blotchy red rash that can appear anywhere on the body. It is often most obvious on the inside of the thighs, parts of the abdomen, and the ankles.
Mite tunnels (burrows) may be seen on the skin as fine, dark, or silvery lines about 2-10 mm long. The most common areas where they occur are the loose skin between the fingers, the front of wrists and elbows, the groin, armpits, under breasts, scrotum, and penis.
Scratching sometimes causes slight skin damage. In some cases the damaged skin becomes infected by bacteria - a 'secondary' skin infection. Skin infected with bacteria becomes red, inflamed, hot and tender.
The itch and rash of scabies are due to an allergy to the mites. These symptoms usually take 2-6 weeks to occur after you are infected (as the allergy develops). So you may not know that you are infected, and you may pass the mite on to others before you have any symptoms.

hard headed so I thought it would go away on its own but it got really worse while some of my research told me this may have been the Scabies infection. Anyhow... Here's the truth..

Scabies are contagious and they replicate very fast. It must be treated and it won't go away on its own.

Popular myths involve permethrin cream as a treatment but not only it is harmful for skin, most of times the Scabies come back with few tubes of applying permethrin cream.

There are some strong formulations natural solutions that does magic and process that is much more soothing than putting on pesticides all over your body (permetrhin). Dr.scabies was recommended by my homeopathic doctor who was very against permethrin create. DR. SCABIES works and it works like magic!

IF it is scabies, you need to get some Kwell from a doctor and kill those suckers. There is no natural way to kill them.

Try washing your bedding with a mild soap (Ivory Flakes) and taking a bath. Apply lots of lotion for a few days and see if the itching doesn't stop. Maybe you just have allergies or a sensitivity to the laundry detergent you are using. I hope this is the case.

*scratches self*

You need to see a Doctor to determine if it is Scabies or not.
If it is, then there is no natural cure, you need special lotion to kill the disease. Good Luck

There is no natural cure. You must kill the mites and then you must wait for the dormant eggs to hatch and kill the next generation. First, though, you must remove any habitation by washing all bedding and clothing in hot water. The best proven way to kill the mites is the use of permethrin 5% wash.

The only 'natural' remedy I know of is sulfur ointment (you can find it in most Dollar General stores), but I do not know how effective it is. It will also make you smell funny for a while.
