If you are sure about the diagnosis of scabies
1.You have to apply 5% permethrin cream all over the body before going to bed and after a bath,leave it overnight and wash in morning
2. All members of the family should receive the treatment.
3. Change all your bed sheets and other clothes in contact
4. Itching will persist for few days you can use cetrizine drops for itching
