Hi I am starting to use elocom ointment for very severe itching and cracks in the area of the feet and on the hands at the scabies, itching is localized throughout the body. Can I then smear the whole body with a thin layer? I have to use it for 2-3 days and then use Crotamiton Farmapol.

If this is not a doctor's recommendation, you should not use Elocom on the whole body. It is not an antipruritic drug. It is a drug from the group of glucocorticosteroids (steroids), which should not be used on large areas of the skin, because these drugs are absorbed through the skin and can exert an effect on the whole body. I also suggest caution in the area of cracks, because this will also increase the penetration of the drug into the body. I also encourage you to read the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-sterydy-sa-bezpieczne
