Question: How do you get read of scabies for good!?

Answers:
if you were treated ONCE with permethrin 5% cream,
if you covered yourself from neck to toes
if you left it on for 12 hours, then showered off in the morning
then you were cured the first time!.
if you have done all that, and you continue to itch, then there are only two possibilities
1!. You NEVER had scabies in the first place!. You need to find out what the real diagnosis is!.
OR
2!. You may have had scabies in the first place, but by continued over treatment, now you have post-scabetic eczema!. That would be treated by first STOPPING the ridiculous retreatments that will only make the eczema worse, applying potent topical steroids, perhaps using an injection of 40 mg triamcinolone to get a quick response, and using topical moisturizers until the eczema resolves!.
situation #2 two is VERY VERY common -- I constantly see referrals for this problem!.
what you need to know is there there is NO resistance to a SINGLE good treatment with permethrin!. If you are no better after that, then is is because you have the wrong diagnosis -- the assumption that ALL itching is due to scabies is obviously wrong!.
I would suggest that you see either
a) local infectious disease specialist OR
b) a GOOD dermatologist - but unfortunately it is very difficult to find one, and to find one that will spend more than 30 seconds with you!.
it might help you to print out my answer above, and discuss it with whatever doctor you see!. I guarantee it will help!.
Also note the incorrect information posted by others above!. You do NOT have to treat the entire house - they only live on your clothing and your skin!. Just wash clothes, bedsheets and pillow cases!. Do not treat the furniture!. Again, the primary assumption that you still have scabies is WRONG!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to keep treating yourself and make sure you wash all clothes and linens in HOT water!. If you still live at home or with a roommate, they will have to do this too, The mites can only live between 24 and 48 hours before they die off, so try and get everything done over 1 weekend to get rid of the infestation!. Once you've killed them all off (from your clothes/linens/towels/floors/mattresses etc) you should be right to go and they shouldn't bother you again!. You need to Clean EVERYTHING!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
