There is a possibility, but the whole family was treated along with him to prevent it. I don't see anything on my skin either and scabies leave little burrow marks on the skin. My son's skin is all torn up from his scratching too, and I could see the burrows too. There is a nasty rash with scabies and it lasts weeks even after the treatment. Also we were treated twice per direction of the doctors.
Of course, it could be that too... so many possibilities.
