Don't come anywhere near me, is my advice. 
I went to see a doctor. He gave me some ointment called benzoic acid. I have to wait for 6 weeks before I can see any results. What else can be done here? Im silently germ obsessed and this is driving me up the walls!!

Is it itchy? Is it not eczema?

Well done. Now that I'll never shake hands with a stranger ever again.

I think that comes with having a compromised immune system
Also, it was after looking scabies up on Wikipedia that I decided I'm keeping my distance from you filthy strangers!

Bacteria do not lay eggs. They reproduce through binary fission.

Nor is scabies a bacteria. They're mites, from what I understand
I see that. Lol, ewwwwwwwwwwwww:

Was speaking to my wifey (she is a dr), and she said getting scabies is a mission, as the mites are probably all around the house as well now.
I see they burrow, lay eggs and poo in your skin.
