Hello dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice that You should think of permethrin for the treatment because scabies is an antiparasitic infection, a kind of skin infestation caused by a tiny microscopic bug known as the human itch mite. It is a common in people living in dense atmosphere like hostels, military houses. All the candidates of the house should be treated simultaneously. I can understand your financial issue but this treatment you should take for the relief of scabies. Apply permethrin from below head up to toe. There are other medications also available in market for treatment of scabies like ivermectin and benzyl benzoate etc. But the only thing is the disease should be confirmed by a doctor and proper Chat Doctor. And hence, why you will need to see some local doctor if dermatologist appointment is not feasible for diagnosis confirmation first and his/her prescription. Hope this helps.
