Question

I'm really worried about scabies and how it might spread through the things I use daily. Can you give me some advice on disinfecting my surroundings, like the furniture I use and gadgets like my laptop and mobile? I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to prevent it from spreading.

My test results showed that I have Staphylococcus Aureus after catching this rash while I was in India. It started on my feet and after about three weeks, the pus has stopped, and the lesions are closing up. But I'm worried because these large spots on my feet keep turning purple in just an hour. Is this normal, and should I be concerned? What can I do to help with the healing?

Question
