Yes they can likely live anywhere on you but scabies prefer certain areas with skin folds and areas more protected by clothing rather than open areas such as your face and head.

I'm a living testament that they absolutely do love your face. They hang out in ears and come out as soon as the lights go out or you close your eyes one.Especially if your laying on a surface that's infested bed couch etc. Mine get active AS SOON AS I close my eyes I've tricked them like I was going to sleep (when I first realized what they were) and I always jump up really quick a slather on petroleum jelly or peroxide the little buggers. I'm absolutely at war with them. Permethrin didn't work cause I've had them for so long and I'm at my wits end and will start taking bleach baths I just have to think of a way to get the internal ones, and not to mention I have some folks in denial in the household I live in. My whole thing is if I was going to make something up why would it be scabies? I see them scratch and I'll bring it up and WHILE THEIR SCRATCHING THEIR ALL, I'M NOT ITCHING. DID YOU HEAR ME SAY WHILE THEIR SCRATCHING>>

I'm not able to move right now but I suspect I'll have them until I move away from these itch faker idiots! I also feel them crawling in my throat but I think they die cause saliva is a natural enzyme.
I hate this and wish it wasn't happening. Doctors are the worse though (I've lost faith in traditional medicine). I actually cried and begged for help at the ER and do you know they told me there was nothing they cold do , and they didn't have a microscope to check

(hospital was closing like the next day but still). Referred me to dermatologist and gave me a immunosuppressant which I absolutely need my immune system more than ever right now I think either he did it on purpose or is a total birdbrain. Since reading several forums I know dermatologist won't be of any help, so I'm up sh*t creek right now treating myself with some very toxic sh*t. I took a bath in fabuloso for god sakes. I did this cause I figure whatever the blue stuff in that, dawn dish liquid, and Windex kills them. This only brought me temporary relief. :( I'm on to my bleach or borax and peroxide baths now, I mean what else is their to do. Then I live in Cleveland, Oh Everywhere I look now that I know the signs, I see people scratching their noses, ears, and hairlines. I think its a conspiracy/epidemic cause they are complete strangers. My family thinks I'm losing it when I'm just more intelligent than them (honestly). They all have an excuse for it cause they have it too. they say "oh I have eczema, allergies" an so forth so, when I do finally get rid of them I will no longer go around my family. It's sad I know. If I told you how long I've had them you'd do a backflip. I have an uncle who committed suicide and I think I know why now. On bad days I have considered it cause this is no way to live. I was just about one of the last people to see him and guess what he was doing? Washing his clothes looking very sad. This was in 1996.
