Sulphur soap is indicated I would advise against it as borax is a skin irritant. If just a teaspoon is swallowed by a child, it will kill them. If they are lucky, then it would simply leave them with their skin peeling off. You do not want this stuff to absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream (which it does). If I had scabies I would use borax but I would be sure to wash it off after just a couple of minutes. Don't soak in it.
Try quell lotion for scabies. It's available over the counter at your local pharmacy. Elimite is another product that works. Good luck.
This is an extreme solution, But if all else fails try this. Take a very hot bath or shower. When you get out imediately douse yourself all over with alcohol. After a few of these showers you'll start seeing a differences. Yes it hurts, but its better than months of Itching. Have you ever heard of the seven year itch?

How much borax is used in a bath to kill scabies and its eggs?
Borax and borax substitutes, are not necessarily scabies exterminators. Scabies are tiny mites. As the question provides for a borax bath, it will be the hot water and anything that breaks water surface tension (borax in this case) — allowing the mites to drown or perish in hot water. There are very few germs and/or bacteria that can survive hot water, soap, and a scrubbing brush. Soap bars, hot water with temperatures higher than "hand hot" along with cleaning implements such as brushes, cloths, et al, are all that is needed to keep the home clean. Bleach and other harsh chemicals should be used very sparingly.
