Answers:
No you shouldnt because you would onlry give it to others and back to yourself ........so stay home wash aalllllll your clothes in hot water........everything that you possibly can you may even want to throw away things that cant wash well........the mites can live in clothes or at least their eggs. Also every one in your house needs to be treated. All the best

Uh, only if you work from home and you work alone. They are pretty contagious!
Suppose you might choose to go to work if you really hate your coworkers...but I wouldn't suggest such a thing!
No, you should not continue to work. Scabies is extremely contagious. If you think it's embarrassing now, just wait until the entire workplace gets infected and they trace it back to you.
Be sure to wash yourself with the special soap the doc gave you, and be VERY thorough when cleaning your home and bedding.
no its contagious and if your employer knows you have it they will probably send you home.
Scabies mites are very fastidious. They need a warm body and can't live without one for more than an hour or so. That is why transmitting them requires prolonged physical contact of the skin-to- skin variety. It is hard, if not impossible, to catch scabies by shaking hands, hanging your coat next to someone who has it, or even sharing bedclothes that had mites in them the night before. The physical contact required to contract scabies may of course be sexual, and scabies is more common among sexually active young people. However, other forms of physical contact, such as mothers hugging their children, is sufficient to spread the mites. Over time, close friends and relatives can contract it this way too. For this reason, scabies is not considered a sexually transmitted disease in the usual sense..
it depend upon where you work... outside or inside your home..
I think if you are a prostitute, it would be fine for you to work, if your a medical person who has contact with lots of people, I would take off a day or two until it is cleared up.
Scabies can be cured with a single application of an appropriate remedy. No need to miss work.
