Chiggers

They are Chiggers....toothpaste, the mint paste, not the jell makes them quit itching. These are the almost microscopic arachnids that get Under your skin. Nail polish doesn't work. You can't get them out, you just have to wait.
But if you are talking about nail polish... they are ticks. They have bigger swollen nasty bodies. You have to find some way to make them back out so they don't leave their heads in your skin and make infections.
If the critter is smaller than the point of a pencil and red. You have a chigger. If it is larger than that and brown or gray, it is more likely a tick.

CHIGGERS!!!!! Anybody living in the south knows that. And oh my goodness do they itch. I my great aunt would carry a little bottle of bleach out to the garden with her, and put a dab of bleach on the bite so it would kill them right away. But that's the was they did it then. Who know she may still do that. lol

AH...WELL ...I THINK YOU ARE REFERRING TO SCABIES BUT YOU DO NOT PUT NAIL POLISH ALL OVER YOUR SKIN--THEY ACTUALLY MAKE A MEDICINAL SOAP CALLED KWELL LOTION (PRESCRIPTION ONLY) THAT YOU PUT ON AND IT GETS RID OF THEM---SEE YOUR DR-THEY ARE CONTAGIOUS

Ticks, but that's not how you remove them. You should use the edge of a credit card or something similar and scrape.
