Answer: Hi Mohammed
Sorry about your experience what you have might be a form of scabies infestation as you said it is passed around to people you have contact with your family in this case One of the things you can do is to get a cream called Permethrin its sold over the counter and apply to all parts of your skin and scalp alone then you can also get a spray type to spray in your eyes and to your clothes You will have to do this for all members of your family leave it on the body for over 8 hours You might need to repeat this again after 2 weeks to ensure it kills all the scabies For how to use it kindly discuss with the pharmacist for a good explanation If this doesnt work kindly request to see a dermatologist
