Is there any way I can get rid of scabies without going to the doctor? Or at least like to know how to stop the itch. I scratch so hard that I am making scabs. I am in Germany so I can´t go to the doctor. I gave them to my boyfriend and he is going to the doctor and share his stuff with me. I think I got them on the plane ride over here. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

my brother had those years ago had these..they are very highly contageous..you must get them treated...they will spread all over your body..they are little parasites that embed under you skin and lay eggs..you need to be covered all over your body with a special lotion..every bit of your body...and some cream for the itching...

I know what you are going through. It can attack any person who stayed in hotel, tried clothing in a store or sat on a chair that someone with scabies sat prior regardless if you white, black,yellow poor or rich.
I have scabies so I know what you are going trough, I went to my doctor and I used twice 5% Permethrin, the first time it was very itchy but it did not go away so yesterday, I took the second application. It helps when you take a bath and use bath oil, I used Avenno, and before I go to sleep I used baby oil. So the itch goes away for a while and you can get a good night sleep.
Wash all your bedding, towels, clothing in hot water and used hot dryer too.
I just placed an order from this website https://naturalginesis.com/natural_ginesis36.htm (they sell in Europe)
Here they are two more medication that you can order online.

Pure tea tree oil is probably the easiest and most effective way to rid scabies. The remedy is simple and convenient to use. Keep a bottle in your bathroom in preparation for any future infections.
Scabies is caused by the parasite Sarcoptes scabei var hominis. It colonizes the skin, causing inflammation and the characteristically intense itching. Tea tree oil contains a special substance called terpinen-4-ol which kills the parasite. This treats the problem at its root so you will be free of these itchy bugs.
But tea tree oil does even more.
“Tea Tree Oil Acts Immediately”
The moment the tea tree oil hits the skin, it soothes the itch through anti-inflammatory actions and helps in healing the damaged skin. So it provides you with relief while it kills the parasites. You will see some results within days and full results within weeks. So you can rid scabies from your life.
1. Add 10-20 drops of premium-quality pure tea tree oil to a bathtub of warm water
2. Immerse your body in the warm, spicy water. Ensure infected areas are soaked. Avoid eyes and mouth.
3. After bathing, dry the infected areas thoroughly and apply pure tea tree oil directly to infected areas. A cotton bud works best.
4. Repeat once or twice daily for 2-3 weeks or until the itch resolves
5. Washing linen and clothing is optional, as the scabies mite cannot survive without a human contact.
Once the scabies mites are killed, the itchy rashes may remain for another few days, although it may take up to 2 weeks in some people. This is simply the body’s repair process, and it will disappear to leave you itch-free.
To prevent scabies in the future, continue to add 5-10 drops of pure tea tree oil to your regular bath water.
You should also remember that…
“It’s 100% Natural and Saves Worry”
Tea tree oil is 100% natural, so it has no side-effects. It is an essential oil from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, and is nature’s very own remedy for infections like scabies. You can be confident that it’s non-toxic, and is good for your general health.

I am Not Terribly Familiar About All the Treatments, but Most Are Topical, Perhaps you Can Find One In Germany, there is one Oral Med. (Ivermectin). Good Luck, but Make Sure it is Scabies, this Might Be Helpful: http://www.stanford.edu/class/humbio103/ParaSites2004/Scabies/Scabies%20Home.htm

They are very simple to get rid of, if you're sure that it is scabies. My whole family got them once when I was little... my mom taught at an elementary school. All you need is this cream, and then you rub it over your entire body right before bed, covering any area that doesn't have hair. You go to sleep and then you get up and wash your sheets and shower, and they are gone. So try to get a hold of the cream. If your boyfriend can get it there will be plenty in a tube for 2. Best of luck, and stop scratching! Merry Christmas!

Has she been treated? Hopefully, she has been. I know from experience that even after treatment, you can continue to itch for a few weeks. Untreated scabies is pretty easily spread.

Scabies is the mange in dogs. I got the mange type from my dog and I sympathize with you. I ended up using Raid spray on everything in the house including the itchy spots on me. I am definitely not recommending it but it was all that stopped it. It was maddening and took weeks for me to figure out what I had.

You know that stuff people take baths in when they have chicken Pox ( oatmeal ) that may help or calamine lotion, but other than that you can wash every thing you touch and wash all of your clothes and stuff and I hope you know it gets on and in clothes like couches and car seats so carry around a sheet or something to sit on so when your boyfriend gets back and you get rid of this stuff you don't get it again and if you need it to stop like now a hot shower might help

When I worked at the health department, the only cases we saw of scabies were on very dirty, poor families who didn't properly clean their homes or clothes. Perhaps you DID sit in a seat belonging to someone who fits that category, but I think probably you got it from who ever lived in your house before you did. I lived in Germany over 3 years and their pharmacies are filled with natural remedies. They are generally helpful, so if you don't plan on going to see a doctor, go see a pharmacist and let them recommend what to take.
Merry Christmas!

You can take a warm real soapy bath.
You can also try over the counter sulfa creams. An adult usually can use the more toxic 10%.
You have to strip your bed linens and wash with hot water.
Also, you will need to buy the spray for furniture and beds you can find it over the counter R.I.D lice furniture spray.
