Scabies treatment
Hi, recently found scabies, mild rashes and intense itching.
Doctor gave permethrin 5% from neck to toe for myself and my husband. We both applied on same time.
After that itching not reduced, still itching in whole body hands, thighs,abdomen. When itching will go? Shall I use permethrin next week again? I am going to start IVF treatment, doctor said don't take oral medicine only permethrin.
But more itching, Please suggest
