A member asked:
Can someone be re-infested with scabies?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A person does not get immunity to scabies after suffering one scabies infestation. However, most people who are old enough to remember the misery of having a scabies rash will go out of their way to avoid getting scabies again.
