I suspected I had scabies and was given the cream, which I used last Thursday. I have been washing my bedding in hot water and used Borax yesterday on all bedding. When I turn the light out I am feeling attacked by bugs and the itching is very bad. When I turn the light on it stops. I have not slept in two nights. I am sleeping during the day.

I am wondering why there are still bugs in my bedding if I am washing them, and using Borax. I am vacuming sometimes twice a day. I have sprayed my walls with lysol.

Also, even the doctor said I do not have "classic" scabie marks or rashes, but I do have pin pricks and bites. I have a brown burrow on one of my hands. how bad is my skin going to be as far as marks, regarding how bad the itching is and I am wondering just how badly I am infested.

I have ashtma and have had to stop spraying chemicals. I have looked for sulfur soap with no luck in the stores here. I have read that using wet ones to wipe down your body works, or using alcohol based hand sanitizer and then wiping it off. Has anyone done this with success?

I think the problem is my bedding. I live in an apartment and while I have washed bedding 3 days in a row in the laundry room, I am actually beginning to wonder if the laundry room has scabies? Maybe the water is not hot enough? I sleep fine with no itching when it is daylite.

I started thinking I was nuts with some psychological problem but tonight I know I am not. I shut the light off and was immediately suffering bad itching especially all over my arms and hands.

Any help would be appreciated.
