Best answer:
Answer by Rabby
Bedbugs are different from scabies…bedbugs tend to look like mosquito bites along your body..if you think you have bedbugs..you need to wait until the middle of the night (this is when they come out) and look with a flashlight under your mattress and around your headboard..if you have them you will be able to see them…Scabies is something totally different..they live inside of your body..If its scabies you need to see a doctor..if its bedbugs call an exterminator…good luck

No. Scabies is a mite that burrows under the skin. See more on scabies: http://www.examiner.com/x-7707-Tampa-Disease-Prevention-Examiner~y2009m6d25-Scabies-frequently-associated-through-sexual-contact
You can get a rash from both bed bugs or scabies but these are different. Scabies are mites that can lay eggs in your skin and continue to reproduce. They are parasites. Bed bugs will not lay eggs in your skin. There is a 5 percent cream to use for scabies that is prescription. You need pest control for bed bugs but for scabies you can treat the situation yourself.
