Are you sure that your infection is scabies? If you are not sure, please send me a photo via private message. If you are sure, you can apply the following medication.
Lindane 1% lotion - apply from neck to toes completely. Leave it on for 8-12 hours. So it's easier if you leave it overnight. Then wake up in the morning and take a bath and wash it all away. You have to wash all your clothes, bedsheets, etc. Also, everyone at your home should take the same treatment with you.
