Im not sure I would use lice shampoo... But I would vessel your doctor and let him know he can write you a prescription for it.And wash every thing in HOT water. I work at a hospital and there's been a bad outbreak of it where I live.

Is scabies like chiggers? They live under the skin and leave little red rash like bumps? BC if so I have heard that you can put clear fingernail polish over it and it'll suffocate them.

it has same main active ingredient. But a decreased percentage which has been deemed safe for use in pregnancy.

But scabies you have to get a special cream from the doctor. It has nothing to do with lice. Then wash your clothes with extremely hot water or let them run in the dryer for a long time. I never had it but they thought I did and that's what I had to do.
