Sorry about the chiggers,Adriana. I'm terribly allergic to them.
I've used sulphur powder on the yard for chiggers mites and ticks which was very effective. . Just be sure you don't dust your garden plant leaves,it's probably too hot and sulphur can cause them to sunburn if hot.
I also dust my chicken coop with it,along with diatomaceous earth to help prevent lice,mites and poultry ticks.
Sulphur is also my favorite treatment for mites,heat permitting.
I'm not sure the sulphur would work directly on the skin. Is it really true that the boogers are truly still under there or is that a wives tail?
Might try bathing with permethrin for lice ( check your pharmacy) in that case,since I think chiggers are a lot like scabies.
