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.

I'm dealing with 90% vitiligo and it seems like even a minute in the sun makes my skin turn red, itchy, and it feels like a sunburn. If my skin's wet, the sunburn gets really bad and blisters start forming. I'm worried about this and would love your advice on what medication I might need. What can I do to help with this?
